Friday, April 1, 2011 08:16 PM BY JOHN FUTTY The Columbus Dispatch The fate of Edward Scott Miller, accused of being drunk and reckless when his pickup truck struck and killed a bicyclist on a Hilliard road is in the hands of a Franklin County jury. The Common Pleas jurors began deliberations yesterday at 12:30 p.m. after hearing seven days of testimony and nearly four hours of closing arguments. They went home shortly after 5 p.m. and will continue deliberating Monday morning. Assistant Prosecutor Keith McGrath told jurors that alcohol consumed by Miller on the morning of the crash "led directly" to the collision with bicyclist Steven Barbour on westbound Cemetery Road just before sunrise on July 18, 2009. As evidence of recklessness, he referred to a police investigation that determined Miller's pickup was straddling two lanes when it rear-ended the bicycle, which Barbour was riding on the white line dividing the lanes. Defense attorney D. Timothy Huey continued to ins...

In 2009, we sold everything we owned to travel the US on bicycle. We pedaled 10,000 miles over 15 months. It was an exploration of simple living, human connection and the amazing potential of the bicycle. We shared our adventures online, gave presentations about bicycle travel, organized overnight bike tours and met hundreds of incredible people. On May 15, 2011, we will head back on the road to re-imagine the All-American Road Trip and film the unique stories and places we discover. Big Adventure. Small Wheels. Our next project is about re-imagining the All-American Road Trip, with a journey across the United States that combines Brompton folding bikes and the train. Bromptons (English-made 16-inch-wheel folding bicycles) may be unlikely long-distance touring bicycles, but they are a perfect compliment to the train. We believe that the combination of bikes and trains is under-utilized as a means of contemporary travel. With gas prices threatening to climb ever higher, we want to...

I'm writing today with an invitation to help us get the entire Olentangy Bike Path cleaned of litter for Earth Day. It looks like we are on our way to having it covered from it's southern most origin to just past OSU and we are looking for help to finish it up through Worthington. Typing  "Olentangy" into our  worksite database  filter will show you what is already covered. My specific requests to you are 1) consider becoming a worksite host for some section of the bike path in the Clintonville or Worthington area; and, if not of interest...2) consider registering to volunteer at one of the existing (or soon to be registered!) clean up sites along the path. Here is a link to our  Get Involved  page which includes a link to FAQs on being a worksite host (which costs nothing and comes with perks such as a celebration booth discount) as well as a link to register to volunteer. Thanks for reading and considering! Happy Trails, Erin Erin Chacey Director,...

Strava Cycling debuted Thursday in the App Store. The app uses the iPhone’s GPS feature to let users track the time, distance, and speed of their rides. That data can then be uploaded to Strava’s Website so users can compare their performance to other riders, enter cycling events, and join clubs. Riders who like to tackle hilly or mountainous routes have additional tools available to them in the app. Strava Cycling tracks a rider’s elevation gain throughout the ride. For hilly routes attempted by other Strava users, the app will crown a “king” or “queen” of the mountain for top riders. Strava Cycling is compatible with devices running iOS 4.0 or later, though developers say you’ll need an iPhone 3GS or later to utilize the GPS features. The app is free. [Link]
