Being car free is actually my dream. The infrastructure where I live sucks and I work 45 miles away from home so it’s not a reality for me. My car wouldn’t start on Sunday so I was off Monday-Wednesday.
I joined the group at Seek No Further cidery in Granville on Monday for mountain bike Mondays. Biked there from my house in Heath. I explored a lot of back roads over my days off and was glad the rain held out for most of that time.
I love this section of bike path at a local park on my way to the roads I wanted to ride. This bridge was just an old railroad bridge when I was in high school. Now it’s rail trail that goes above this little section of path. Sadly, the tree in photo 3 collapsed last year. I always loved that tree and even saw a southern flying squirrel in it while out one night photographing spiders. The last slide is from February 2019 to show the tree before it fell.

The Primos pics are cool because the frame size is that perfect size for pics.
As a rider of very large frames, I appreciate how well smaller frames photograph.
That last pick with the Marin is crazy- the front basket would have like a 25 degree forward tilt, if the bike were level.
I live in Switzerland, and thought those were pics from our neighbouring woods. I really hope your city invests more into commuter bike trails. The majority here get to work by bike, foot, or tram. Cars and trucks are great for farms and big families, but when possible, it’s great to get around without an engine.
Do you live in Mifflintown? There are many fools there, like I was once, who drive that far to work in Harrisburg. Gave that crap up 49 years ago. My job for the last 38 years of working was just 4 miles away. Makes it a whole lot easier to bike after work when you’re home in 10 minutes. You need to try that.
