It's really odd that she was packed and ready to attend a Shower that weekend and not come home and go. Women are crazy about showers, at least mine is.
I see people doing it all the time. I agree it's unsafe. The couple that walk their dog all year round on Ulry Rd. and Central College is crazy. You will notice them as she always wears a Huge hat to shade her and carries an umbrella on really sunny days too. She must have a skin condition.
I hate riding my bike on Ulry and also on Central College, (I only have to ride on Central College between Ulry and Cubbage) as I turn onto Cubbage to go into the park in the back entrance then pick up the Westerville bike/walking path. Have to get exercise some how and it sucks they there are few sidewalks in our area especially on the main roads.
