People dress funny in Ohio.

Posted on July 9, 2007 by Brad

I feel for Ohio. They can’t help it. Not east enough to have that grit, not west enough for twang. Right in the middle, the terrible place you have to drive through on the way from anywhere northeast to Chicago and beyond. And not a Superbowl ring between any of them.

It must be tough.

This fellow ran the Jumpinships this year. 3 manifests, 3 hour time limit. Epic.

103 entered, 49 finished and a bunch of money was raised for the Bicycle Messenger Emergency Fund. Yeah.

About Brad

Bikes are cool, and I’ve been making a go at this ‘industry’ thing for a while now. You may remember me from some nine years at Dirt Rag Magazine. Or not. Now I do some writing, wrenching and photography to pay the bills. And run my half of a little magazine project called Urban Velo. We love riding in the city. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Pink is the new hot color, too. Check Bike Snob NYC for the love on the top tube pads. :-)

Save yer pity. Ohioans don’t need it. Just keep right on thinking that Ohio’s a terrible place. Oh, and tell any Californians that are thinking about moving just how awful it is in Ohio.

Thanks!
