  • AboutThis web site and blog is for those dedicated to living and promoting the bicycling lifestyle in The Buckeye State. The name of this site was inspired by the Smoke Free Ohio/Smoke Less Ohio campaigns of the election of 2007. I am not anti-car; I own a car and rely on it like most people. I know that bicycling is not necessarily for everyone, and I certainly don’t believe that anyone should be forced to ride a bike. I only believe that if we make it easier for those who choose to use the bicycle as a normal, practical means of transportation, then all of us, drivers and non-drivers alike, will benefit. You can help spread the word by requesting your FREE CarFreeOhio/CarLessOhio stickers! I started this site with the intention of being a comprehensive resource for any and all things related to cycling in Ohio, but I quickly realized that would be a daunting and never-ending task. So, I now post news about events, rides, and other organizations that I find relevant or interesting, and write stories about my own rides and bike-related stuff that i like. If anybody else finds it interesting, then great; if not, so be it. I…

As I prepare for my first #GOBA starting this weekend, here's a #TBT to the one and only time I rode in @outdoor_pursuits other marquee event, #TOSRV - way back in 2004. I have been told that the weather that year was the best it ever was before or since ... temps in the 80s and very little wind. The friends I rode with were a group of brief riding acquaintances during my last year or two of living in #Pittsburgh. I know one of them is no longer with us; I don't know anything about the rest. #BikeCommuting #Route8Gravel #FallsGravel #RitcheyAscent Finally took the @bikefriday #AllPacka on its first #bikepacking overnight trip this weekend on a pedal & paddle adventure from Akron to Canal Fulton and back. TL;DR is the bike worked flawlessly, handled just as well when loaded as it does when unloaded (if not better). Read more details about the trip and bike setup at the link in bio (carlessohio.org). #BRAAAAAP #BikeFriday #AllPacka #MountainBiking It was like #DejaVuAllOverAgain tonight as I took the @bikefriday #AllPacka back #MountainBiking at @summitmetroparks #HamptonHills to try to diagnose one of those phantom noise issues, and thus wanted to keep conditions consistent. Replacing an old worn out pair of pedals helped, but there’s more going on… Perfect sunny Sunday morning to ride the @salsacycles #SalsaJourneyer on the Sunny Lake Loop through #AuroraOH. A few shots from my two-day #bikepacking trip this week with #QuietRyan and @baforrer from @all_around_cyclery - We rode the Canaan Valley and the Forks of Cheat route from @bikepackingcom  in #WestVirginia. See more pics and a full trip report on the blog (link in bio or carlessohio.org). Went #MountainBiking at @summitmetroparks #HamptonHills tonight on the @bikefriday #AllPacka.  #SmallWheelsBigFun #SureHappyItsThursday #BikeCommuting #Route8Gravel #FallsGravel
