Hey look, Ohio once again going the wrong direction, just like every city I've lived in does with bicycles.

Cars keep crashing into bicycles/Amish? Penalize the bicycles/Amish! How dare they intrude into what has ALWAYS been the domain of cars.

Man, fuck Ohio and fuck cars. If I could ride my bicycle to work every day I would.

You have nice mild summers, but it can't be worth that winter.

I'm more mid-ohio, myself, and the winters have gotten much milder than they were in my childhood, unfortunately.

My dad likes to tell stories about him and his brothers driving on a local pond in their teenage years because it froze thick enough to do so.

It hasn't frozen over since I was in middle school.

Oh yeah I know it. I'm in central WV. We used to get tons of snow when I was a kid. Winters are mild now.

Depends...are you thinking of the east side or the weat side? The west side might not get any snow, while the east side gets a thick full 9 inches....

I've only been up there working a few times so I didn't know the difference was so drastic.
