LOL in Westerville/Columbus

- Smart-guided Long One-way Loop Bikeway Tour


Easily one of the best cycling communities in Ohio! Experience the bikeways of Westerville plus Inniswood Gardens, Hoover Dam, and more!


Community bikeway cycle tours do not get much better than this. Beautiful neighborhoods, scenic parks, nicely designed bikeways, historical places, and a great spot along the way for a selfie picture atop Hoover Dam!


There are a lot of great reasons to visit Westerville, Ohio. Add this CycleNuts smart-guided cycling tour to your agenda - or make this tour your agenda. Either way, this bikeway route will get your wheels on the renowned cycling infrastructure of this northeast Columbus suburb. Never see the same thing twice on this Long One-way Loop (LOL) selfie tour - except for Hoover Dam which is worth seeing twice. Feeling adventurous? Easily add miles to the route by detouring on any number of bikeway spurs throughout Westerville.


This LOL tour starts where it ends at a disc golf park (bring a disc (frisbee) if that's your thing). Westerville put extensive effort into creating a city-wide bikeway system. Through tunnels, on well-marked bike lanes and dedicated trails, across a dam, through numerous parks, and all set in a bicycle-friendly community this LOL cycling tour will take you along the picturesque Hoover Reservoir and winding riverside trails, across fields and manicured parks, and through beautifully landscaped neighborhoods. This tour packs in a lot in a little package!


The 21-mile smart-guided bicycle tour route is 92% bikeway and comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Most of the route is dedicated bike lanes and paved trails that follow the lay of the land. Except for some tunnel ramps and bridges and a couple of short stretches of trail your bike's gears will see very little use. All bikes are appropriate for this smart-guided tour. Sweating is optional. The route is shaded about 40 % of the way. You set your pace, starting time, and touring agenda with CycleNuts' expert smart-guided cycle tour pattern.


Points of interest: Westerville, Hoover Dam and Reservoir Park, Inniswood Metro Gardens, Everal Barn & Homestead, First Responders Park, and a CycleNuts tested and approved optional tasty spot (details with ticket). Segments of nine (...yes... 9) bikeways on the route: Ohio-to-Erie Trail, Westerville Bikeway, Big Walnut Trail, Big Walnut Creek Trail, Towers Trail, Chipmunk Chatter Trail, Polaris Trail, Alum Creek Trail, County Line Shrock Trail, Otterbein University, Uptown Westerville, and Hanby House.

Helmets are not mandatory - cycleNuts tours give preference to bikeways - bicycle trails and protected bicycle lanes. Routes may include dedicated bicycle lanes on streets, bicycle ‘friendly’ streets, and of necessity, regular streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and unpaved trails. Darkness may be experienced on evening or early morning rides. Lights in good working order at all times on CycleNuts tours are a great idea – to be seen and to see!

SAG-free - CycleNuts tours, including travel and over-night accommodations, are self-supported with the slightest of guidance. SAG is not provided. Carpools and caravans are individual choices. Emergency road support – if necessary – may be a creative, collective group effort or you may need to fend for yourself. Be prepared with options.

Air pump. Wrench kit. Cycle lock. Water. Energy bar. Funds for refreshment breaks and emergencies. Sun screen. Pest repellent.

Recommended Preparation – Pre-check (before you load that bike for transport to the starting spot) brakes, tire pressure, lights, and rideability. Consider what you are wearing on tour and what you may need for changing weather conditions.

Yes – CycleNuts will offer cycling events in all four seasons – what else could be expected from CycleNuts?
