Route 381 is the road that leads out of Ohiopyle to get to Fallingwater. It's a two lane blacktop with minimal shoulders. I guess it's rideable but, man, I'd think twice three times about it. Motorists will not be expecting to see bicycles on that road. Between the climb, the curves, and lack of shoulder, I'd look for another way to get there, but that's just me. YMMV.
