jerben Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 About all the bike nights are winding down, but you can always hit the Arena District/North Market area for a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habi Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi, I will prolly be visiting columbus next weekend, just wanted to ask all the columbus folks about the local attractions, any good places to ride around (urban city ride)What are you looking for? Urban attractions or good areas to ride? The good places to ride are 45 min away (coshochton or Hocking). Urban attractions are listed above. "good" urban rides don't exist.

NinjaDoc Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Just like good to see "urban" things, buildings, Not the twisty stuff to ride, just 2 up urban sight seeing roads In short want to do some thing like this in Columbus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbSgcHEgADQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player Edited October 7, 2011 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Sorry Columbus is closed for construction. We hope to reopen the roads in 2015 when most the work will be so far behind and under funded that APV's will be the only way for Ben to get to work. Thanks and remember Dayton has an Air Force museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzer Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 If you ride this short section you'll get some nice shots of the river, cosi, the ridiculously expensive main st. bridge, and from near point A you should be able to get a decent skyline shot. http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=US-33+E&daddr=39.95571,-83.00521+to:Belle+St&hl=en&ll=39.96505,-83.017073&spn=0.010016,0.01929&sll=39.963701,-83.011923&sspn=0.010016,0.01929&geocode=FczUYQIdUzgN-w%3BFf6sYQId5nAN-ymF4qsROI84iDH5YZkLfxPTZA%3BFVS7YQId_GMN-w&vpsrc=6&mra=dme&mrsp=0&sz=16&via=1&t=h&z=16Other than that, you can ride up through osu campus during the day and see all the students out, you can ride past the statehouse, german village or victorian village have some nice house architecture, if you drive up riverside dr. there are some nice shots of the scioto river and you can cross the river at o'shaughnessy dam(glick rd.) for a cool shot. just a few ideas. Let me know if you need some food suggestions too, and i'm sure others can suggest many good places as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykill Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 make sure you ride 33/riverside from downtown up to the zoo. one of my favorite scenic intown rides.Keep going up to the zoo and come back 315 S which is a scenic highway. Its a nice little drive. I also recommend the roads on the other side of 315...Here they are you can do your own route from them....http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Dublin+Rd&daddr=OH-257+N%2FRiverside+Dr+to:US-23+S%2FColumbus+Pike+to:40.223056,-83.0648781+to:40.187351,-83.0522878+to:OH-750+W%2FW+Powell+Rd+to:Perry+Rd+to:Taggart+Rd+to:Chapman+Rd+to:Chapman+Rd&hl=en&geocode=FbjZYQIdnBUN-w%3BFTQWZgIdUk0L-w%3BFaY8ZgIdDJIM-w%3BFVDBZQId0ocM-ym9chpcM_A4iDGdBnLz75l_Pw%3BFdc1ZQIdAbkM-ymRZ9XZjfE4iDGcrvMt5wqAmA%3BFe6-ZAIdgNIM-w%3BFfkNZQIdodgM-w%3BFVJ4ZQIdSLAM-w%3BFd3rZQIdPpgM-w%3BFUogZgId7qUM-w&sll=40.243174,-83.076811&sspn=0.03492,0.077162&vpsrc=0&mra=mi&mrsp=9&sz=14&via=3,4&ie=UTF8&t=m&z=14&dirflg=d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
