Favorite Food: I have to pick just one?
Favorite Ride: My recreational ride starts at home in Clintonville, down to Olentangy Trail, south to at least Third Ave, sometimes as far as Audubon Center, then home via the neighborhoods, German Village, Downtown, Short North, University, Old North Columbus, Clintonville. I love to see what's going on.
Favorite Quote: Never look back. Always look ahead. (Of course, this doesn't count the rear view mirror on my bike!).
Why I Ride: Many reasons. Had stopped after college due to career demands. Started again about 12 years ago for fitness and it's fun! Good for the environment and my stress level.
My Commute: Work commute is only 3 miles RT. But we do everything else on the bike as well. Groceries, restaurants, family (local!), church, bank, etc. I even rode my bike to renew my drivers license. I ride year round. Some weeks I only drive a car once.
