A perfect storm of tagging
Posted by on April 10, 2011
This morning, I did a quick 5-mile ride around a loop consisting of some local neighborhood streets and two local bike/hike trails, the Old Hickory Trail and the Center Valley Trail.

Ohio was once home to the factories that produced some of the most recognized names in bicycles: Murray, Huffy, and others.

But whatever my feelings, [...]
