3/24/2009 Whitehall, OH (2.0 miles) – Ride Down Broad Street

Posted by on June 7, 2012 at 9:02 am

I didn’t cover many miles in Gahanna so I decided to go down Hamilton road into Whitehall for another 2-mile ride. The sidewalks were a little bumpy and I lost my balance three times. I was waving to two guys across the street and lost it, so I decided to stage a fall to the […]

3/24/09 Gahanna, OH — Ride by Creekside

Posted by on June 6, 2012 at 2:55 pm

I took a ride in downtown Gahanna by Creekside. The buildings were just beautiful and the people were very friendly — waving and honking as I rode by. I went by Bicycle One on Mill Street. I almost stopped in but I decided to roll on. I’ll have to go back sometime. I rode up […]

3/21/09 Cincinnati, OH — Ride near Kenwood Towne Centre Mall

I had a few minutes before leaving Cincinnati, so I rode for another mile down Montgomery Road by the Kenwood Town Centre Mall. I just love to see the looks on people’s faces when I go by waving. I’d guess that at least 80% of them waved back. Parents slowed down so their kids could […]

Hi there. It’s me, Mophe. It was a really nice day – high of 74 degrees and sunny so it seemed like everyone was outside. I started in downtown Columbus, Ohio at lunchtime so there were many people walking around. It’s great to see the reactions the first time someone notices me. Some are hesitant […]

3/14/2009 2.0 miles, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Memphis, TN

Hi there, It’s me Mophe. Wow – what a great day! I’ve clowned around before — dressed up and road my unicycle — but I’ve never been a mime. It adds a whole new dimension to clowning. But I’m getting ahead of myself. On the way to the parade a car zooming passed me on […]
