Protecting Your Bike: Registration

(This page was updated as best as possible on 1/11/2019). One of the ways that you can make sure your bike is protected from thieves is bicycle registration. Many communities will allow you to register your bike, which makes it much easier to recover in case it is stolen. Trust me, I wish I'd done this before my last bike got ripped off. In general, it's a good idea to record the serial number of your bicycle and keep it with the sales receipt and a photograph of the bike. Your serial number can usually be found on the bottom bracket under the crankshaft of your bike. Also, engraving your name and phone number or other information into your bike will be a good deterrent. And always lock your bike, making sure to get the frame and wheels locked to the bike rack or whatever you find to lock it up. On a national level, you can register your bicycle with the National Bike Registry . This is good for folks in Columbus, Worthington, and other communities that do not have a bik...

Columbus iPhone App Gets Update

Yes, the City of Columbus has an iPhone app. And an Android App, if you're so inclined. It's actually been out for a couple of years now, and it gives locations of city services and the like. I've not mentioned the thing here on Carless Columbus in the past because, frankly, I haven't found it all that useful (and if the features I'm talking about have actually been part of the app in the past, I apologize, I just discovered them recently). But, I'm happy to say that's changed. The app now has a link to the Columbus 311 service line where you can file service requests with the city to get things fixed! This includes issues like potholes, requesting bike racks, and a multitude of other issues (not all bike- or even traffic-related). So you need never worry about forgetting to file a request to have a pothole fixed again - just pull over (PLEASE) and file your claim as you find the pothole in question, or see a great spot for a bike rack, or ...

New Posting Schedule

A message from the management: For a while, I've been trying to figure out a good way to run this blog other than to simply post news, tips, and ideas as I get them or they come to me. And that's not to say that this hasn't worked, but many times it's left me scrambling for something to share with you when I feel I haven't posted in a while; or it's had me post four to five times in a day and then nothing for a week; or it's had me get into a rut where I post nothing but one topic of posts for a week or two, and so forth. And that's not a good way to run things, I think. So what I'm going to try to do for you is to have "topics of the day" like many sites have. This is going to be done for a couple of reasons: Not everyone is interested in every topic that I cover. Some folks who read this site aren't as interested in the Columbus news as they are in equipment previews and reviews, or advice and tips on managing your ride, etc....
