Bender Rd West End Point of Alt US 50 For Cyclists

Category: 1. Good Side- Street Route

Used in the following map:

Cincinnati Bike Plan

This route can be used to bypass US 50. It is still fairly busy road, but not as busy as US 50. Hillside Ave from this point on east is no good as there's various points that is just way too narrow of a road and motorists can cause cyclists to fall into the ditches or even at other points of cliffs.

This does have a steep up hill with the middle section of Bender road and points along both Bender Rd and Delhi Ave does need more bike friendly facilities.

The purpose of taking Mt Alverno is to bypass the very hectic part of Delhi Ave (aka Delhi Pike between Anderson Ferry and Greenwell)
Edit: I disagree regarding Hillside east from Bender to River Rd in Riverside. This is an excellent route to avoid River Rd and going over the hill thru Delhi. It is narrow but with little traffic.
