Delaware to downtown Columbus (or even OSU) I am impressed. I hope it does not rain on the ride home for you. I still have not done anything about getting a helmet. Thanks for the comment. Ouch!!!

I hope it does not rain on the ride home for you. I still have not done anything about getting a helmet. Thanks for the comment.

We live up in Delaware. She works near OSU and I work downtown. It was about an hour and fifteen minute commute (~15 miles)from the Worthington Hills trail; where Olentangy river road turns into 315 ...to downtown. I carried my work stuff, change of clothes and my lunch bag in a backpack with chest and waist straps. Yes, I wiped out and gashed my shin and the chain slipped...but it was just me being idiotic. All you need is the proper gear - Helmet, gloves, etc and you'll be fine. Also, don't try any stunts for the first few rides at least. Just stay on the trail and away from the streets and you'll be fine. Well, it looks like rain on the ride home today...this should be fun. ;-) My fiancee and I just biked into work this morning for the first time. We live up in Delaware.

I'm afraid to ride it. It's been so long since I rode a bike I'm afraid of a wipe out. My parents lent me their bike for the summer. I’m afraid to ride it.
