The type of roads you&#8217;ll enjoy on a slow Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>One of these is Ohio State Route 174 between the cities of <a href=\"http:\/\/downtownwilloughbyohio.com\/\">Willoughby<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/yourhometownchagrinfalls.com\/\">Chagrin Falls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can run the route in either direction, as both downtown areas offer a great place to start or stop your ride. There are a number small shops to visit, and restaurants, ice cream and coffee shops to relax at in both locations, like the Chagrin Falls <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chagrinfallspopcorn.com\/\">Popcorn Shop Factory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The 17 mile trip features a north-south route that often follows the Chagrin River, with a number of rolling hills and slow sweepers that make for a great ride for cruisers, scooters and even bicyclists. The perfect route to take a passenger through.<\/p>\n<p>Traffic is moderate on the weekends, with speed limits ranging from 35 to 40 mph along most of the router, and a few 25 mph speed zones.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a number of places to stop along the way, as several locations in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clevelandmetroparks.com\/\">Cleveland Metroparks<\/a> exit onto the route. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clevelandmetroparks.com\/Main\/Squires-Castle.aspx\">Squire&#8217;s Castle<\/a> makes for a nice stop with plenty of picture opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clevelandmetroparks.com\/Main\/Reservations-Partners\/South-Chagrin-Reservation-14.aspx\">South Chagrin Reservation<\/a>, just north of Chagrin Falls, offers some additional scenic roads to swing through and plenty of natural scenery to stop and admire.<\/p>\n<p>The endpoints are near highways, with I-90 in the north and US Route 422 in the south.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1'
