Columbus has become an incredible city for cycling, with an expanding network of trails and bike-friendly routes. As someone who loves both writing and cycling, I find that my best ideas often come while pedaling through our beautiful city.

Favorite Routes

The Olentangy Trail remains my go-to route for daily rides. Stretching from Worthington Hills Park all the way to downtown, it offers a perfect mix of nature and urban scenery.

The Scioto Mile downtown provides stunning views of the city skyline and is perfect for evening rides when the fountains are lit up.

Writing and Riding

There's something about the rhythm of cycling that unlocks creativity. I've solved countless plot problems while navigating these trails. The physical activity seems to free up mental space for creative thinking.

If you're in Columbus and haven't explored our trail system, I highly encourage you to give it a try. You might be surprised what ideas come to you on two wheels!
