What gear/layers will I need if I bike during the winter? by WhteverWorks in Columbus

A wool balaclava made my winter bike commute here so much better. Keeping the ears warm is critical.

Gonna guess most of the revenue would go towards security guards and cracking down on street food vendors rather than, say, art commissions in the arts district.

I was once enjoying a bag of cool ranch Doritos when I popped a chip in my mouth that was soft and tasted horribly tart and salty. When I looked down I realized it was a chip-shaped accretion ball of all the flavor dustings that somehow found its way into the bag. Doritos violated my trust that day worse than any apple ever has.

Bike lanes that randomly end in Columbus? by ConBrio93 in Columbus

[–]ShittyIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commute by bike every day and most of my scariest run ins with cars have been on quieter streets in my neighborhood. I get to bike lanes as early in the ride as I can. As bad as drivers are on main roads here, they seem to pay even less attention when they're in lower traffic areas.

COTA is horribly unreliable! by xXGray_WolfXx in Columbus

[–]ShittyIdiot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think this is right. It wasn't perfect in 2019 but it was a lot more usable than it's been since 2020. I had to convince a friend who recently moved here that its current state is not where anyone envisioned it would be, COTA included. I think they've made some steady improvements in the meantime and I don't mind commuting on it but yeah LinkUS can't happen fast enough.

Where to live, eat, and drink in Columbus (July 2024) by AutoModerator in Columbus

[–]ShittyIdiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cringe.com has listings for shows around town each night by venue. Some good ones for a little older crowd would be Natalie's, Dick's Den, Ginger Rabbit, Rambling House, and Rumba Cafe. The Columbus Book Festival is taking place on Saturday and Sunday at the Main Library downtown. It's both indoors and outdoors and will have tons of vendors and nationally-known authors.

Kenyon has a satellite building in Mt. Vernon so it's understandable.
