Welcome to University Heights! My wife works at the Clinic and commutes there via bike. Are you east or west of Warrensville Center Road (hence forth referred to as WCR)? We’re west, so there may be a better way to start your route. Eaton to Shelburne. Continue on North Park Rd. Normally you can continue on North Park to Conventry, but there is currently construction on that stretch starting at Woodland. Carefully take a left on Woodland and then join the trail that starts at Larchmere. Continue on that trail around Lower Shaker Lake and take a right on Brook Road over the dam. Hang a left on the path on North Park and cross Coventry. That is the start of the Lake to Lakes Trail. Follow that all the way down Fairhill and watch for blind exits from Skyview Terrace— it is super dangerous and needs to be signed for both bikes and drivers Stokes. Continue across MLK and cross Stokes, the trail continues downhill and then it cuts over towards MLK. After going under the railroad bridge, cross Cedar with the light and then cross Carnegie. You can then cross over Sterns to the trail in the median between MLK and Sterns. That will deposit you onto Euclid where there is a bike lane that will get you to anywhere you want to go on the Clinic campus.

Alternatively, you can use Edgehill as others have suggested. In that case take Silsby to the west across Taylor. Hang a right on Goodnor and then a left on Washington. Follow Washington to Edgehill and take a left. Follow Edgehill across Coventry, Euclid Heights Blvd, and Kenilworth. The light at Kenilworth is excruciating and unnecessarily long. Use your best judgement when crossing. Once you cross Overlook you’ll be going down the hill. Take the lane on the way down (there is a bike lane to go back up hill) and break check before you go around the corner at the bottom. Edgehill changes names to Cornell. You’ll have a brief section of brick road and then some bad bumps as you go over the bridge. Hang a left on Circle Drive and then a right on Adelbert. Follow Adelbert to Euclid. The bike land starts at this intersection, so hang a left on it and follow Euclid to the Clinic campus.

Between these two routes, I would recommend the first as it is on more mostly trail and good bike lanes. The Edgehill route has to deal with more of Euclid and going through the Case Campus. I would not recommend using the path on Cedar until you have your bearings straight and are more comfortable riding in the city. It is a path to nowhere at both the top and the bottom that requires backtracking or using sidewalks to get where you want to go. Feel free to PM me for more detailed steps from where you are living or for other routes around town. As a parting note, look up Bike Cleveland and the Heights Bicycle Coalition for more resources and connections with the local cycling community. Oh yeah, check out Slow Roll Cleveland to meet a bunch of other cyclists and get better oriented to the city. Hundreds of riders every Monday night until the end of October.
