Bluffton, Ohio: You can get there from here, by bike

By Paula Pyzik Scott

New green and white signs have popped up in and near Bluffton marked “25.” They are wayfinding signs for US Bike Route 25 North, which takes cyclists from Toledo to Cincinnati.

At virtually the same time, Bluffton popped up as rated #2 in Ohio on People for Bikes’ City Ratings. Bluffton received a 75 (out of 100) network score. The average network score for all cities in 2024 is 28.

Both designations come with online maps that show you cycling options and their level of difficulty.

The USBRS page provided by Adventure Cycling Association shows the Toledo-Cincinnati route is 269 miles in total and “begins at the Michigan border and passes through Toledo, Lima and Dayton before ending on the Purple People bridge in Cincinnati. This route runs along segments of the Little Miami Scenic Trail and Great Miami River Trail."
