City Sights (Warning: Some of these photos are not for those with queazy stomachs.)

I biked out to St. Charles HS for a meeting to hear about their new project to build a track--when my son Corey ran there, the track team worked out at East HS and CSG when they could get the track. Corey held the school record in the mile until this year. I was able to snap a photo of his name on the record plaque before they take it down. (He'll give me hell for talking about him on my blog.)

 

I rode home a different way--up 4th Street. The traffic moves quite a bit faster than on High Street where I spend most of my commuting life. I guess the traffic moved a little too fast for this poor guy. (I see lots of groundhog roadkill in Knox County, but not so much in CBus--RIP buddy.)

 
I was almost roadkill, trying to snap this photo in the middle of 4th Street.

I led the BIKE BUS down High Street at 7 am this morning. No one showed up again, but I'm not giving up! Anyone who wants to experience urban riding can meet me any Tuesday morning at 7 am at Panera Bread on High St just north of Henderson and we'll ride downtown together.

I spotted another nice "cruiser" this morning. They mostly seem to inhabit the OSU campus which makes sense. This is another vintage Huffy.

 

A little farther south I snapped this photo in front of the new Ohio Union--lots of bike racks!

 

Finally, here's something you see every day in Shanghai, but not in CBus.

 

These huge cranes are building the new Hilton hotel near the Convention Center. These are big Tonka toys! Pretty awesome.

 

I'm having fun snapping photos with my new I Phone. Do you guys like them?

GR8 photos, Doug! I like to see my hometown through the lense of other cyclists.
