It's funny that this topic was brought up at this time. I just got back from 3 weeks in Cincinnati. Guess what? On my first Tuesday nite ride out of Loveland with the Cincinnati Cycle Club we got yelled at, "get on the bike trail". The interesting thing is we weren't that close to the trail and we were not on a busy road.

On the second Tuesday ride with the club we were on a busy section and a motorist kept gunning his engine, pulling up along side of us trying to pass, which he couldn't and I thought he was going to run someone down.

I went out several times by myself in late morning and afternoon and no one bothered me.

I think there is an epidemic of people in that area who take pleasure in harrassing cyclists.

Also, the road we were on that day has been a designated state bike route, even before the trail was built with a sign posted a mile or two from where this lady screamed at us.

JJakueyk, the Little Miami Trail is a wonderful trail and I enjoyed the rides I had on it when I was there.

On the Cincinnati Cycle Club website there is a picture of 3 cyclists (I'm the last one) passing an Amish Buggy with the caption "get on the bike trail". I'm not the only person this has happened to.

Thanks for all the support.
