I rode from Brooklyn Centre on Scranton through Tremont to Lorain Carnegie bridge to Downtown. I rode down East Ninth to the Rock Hall and Northcoast Harbor, where everyone else in CLE had the same idea - to watch the Air Show for FREE from the park.
Then, I rode through the East Bank Flats complex - which is sort of lovely, but also too seasonal. NOTE: Crop Rocks closed and Rascal Flats to open in Winter 2017 (really CLE?). Flats East Bank is definitely not a place to go with a car.
I took the $2.00 Metroparks water taxi (credit card only) across the Cuyahoga River to west bank , which is now less exciting people-wise and dusty and industrial. I checked out the Willow Street bridge, which looks like it does not allow bikes - and through Lakeview Terraces up to Fulton and the St. Rocco Festival for $4.00 lemonade and $5 ticket for Grand Prize raffle, listened to the cover band, and - then, made the full circle back to Brooklyn Centre.

My $11 day at the Air Show, Flats and St. Rocco Festival
