Columbus - Other portions of city code for bikes would change

* Bicycles would be allowed on sidewalks under the related changes designed to clean up inconsistencies in city laws. Helmets for kids weren't the only changes proposed to Columbus rules on bicycles. In addition to requiring that those age 17 or younger wear helmets while operating bicycles or other non-motorized vehicles, the ordinance proposed by Councilwoman Charleta Tavares, chairwoman of council's Health, Housing and Human Services Committee, would allow bicyclists on sidewalks.

Somewhere in the mid aughts, life took them away from making music, but not from maintaining their friendships. Sometime in the late summer of 2007, they determined that the friendships were OK, but what they really missed was making music. So they got together for a jam session and before they knew it, an album was written. The idea was just to have fun and write some cool rock ‘n’ roll songs without taking themselves too seriously. However, they are just pretentious enough to have one of the band members write this bio in the third person.

Tour de Grandview this weekend

I stopped over last year and watched the races. It is fun to watch the cyclists group break up when they reach the hill before the finish line. It is an indicator of who is fit and who is not. The website...
