It's a shame I'll be taking my kitty to the vet.  Taylor was a great cyclist and a great American (who happened to be black.)

Tim - both of your roadway issues should hopefully be easy fixes by Columbus transportation div. if you notify them. Either call '311' or submit on-line request form via  http://311.columbus.gov/  I've had good success with Columbus readjusting traffic signal loop detector sensitivity as needed when requested.  Good luck.

I read that the city will be dedicating a portion of the Alum Creek Trail as the Major Taylor Bikeway. The dedication by Mayor Coleman will be on this Friday, 9/3 at 3PM at Wolfe Park by the bridge. If you haven't read the Andrew Ritchie biography, it's really good.

It's been too long since our last CM ride. I'll lead one on Sunday, Sept 19 at 2PM from Westgate Park on the west side - approximately 11 miles. We'll explore some of the planned routes in that part of town. Here's a map:

I thought it was hilarious as well. He poked fun at all of us who share frustrations about riding on a busy, multi-use path.
Stay alert when you ride 'em, and enjoy.

I bought a new/old bike from Utagit on Goodale. Its an old JC Higgins made in England. It's got a 3-speed Sturmey-Archer hub, fenders & rack, a really cool chain guard with a couple weird plates so you can remove the wheel without removing the chain guard, and remove the chain guard without removing the crank & pedal (which I didn't figure out until I got the whole thing apart). I'm enjoying rebuilding it, but I won't attempt to disasemble the rear hub. I looked at a picture on Sheldon Brown and I'm not that brave, so I just poured a bunch of "fine machine oil" in the oil cap. The bottom bracket was full of gobs of grease, none of it near the bearings and races. I hope I finish it in time for Bike the CBus.

Another question comes to mind.  Was the trooper directing traffic holding a STOP sign, as is typically used by highway construction flaggers and school crossing guards, or was the trooper just relying on hand signals? Tragically another preventable accident, from the rider's standpoint.  I never completely rely on officials to control traffic in such events.  I always [...]
