It's frustrating that they repaved Schomburg but didn't add bike lanes, though a separated path would be much better anyway. But Columbus isn't too interested in getting people out of cars it seems...
I've had some spectacular crashes on my cross-country and downhill bikes. Got knicknamed "Crash" at work because I would show up with all of the cuts and scraps. I always wear my helmet and padded gloves when riding which have prevented serious injuries. I love my Vitilan i7 Pro, particularly the full suspension and hydraulic brakes. Cheers, Steve
@@ridealongwithritchie I literally cracked one of my helmets and mentioned that to a bike store owner. He asked "can I have it?" I asked him why he wanted it; he wanted to show his customers the value of wearing a helmet. I'm not sure if that couple understood your point and it may take one of them crashing to figure out wearing a helmet isn't a big deal. I got the glove wearing idea from a motorcyclist that showed me how the padding on the back protected his knuckles,
