About Bicycle Trail Names and Route Numbers  

  About Bicycle Route Numbers 

 The Ohio Bike Route Numbering System

Bicycle Trail Names have a way of changing. In order to keep this website up to date I have had to periodically re-name some of my web pages. For example:

   I could, and perhaps in the future will, add more trail names and their current (politically correct) name to this list. If you think you are confused about trail names think about the poor webmaster. I have to respond to each and every name change! I'm not sure of the motives of those who change trail names but I think it is a mistake. Each time a trail is renamed, the people who use the trail become more confused as to what trail are we talking about. I just wish it would stop. 

I have been working assiduously recently to change all of the old trail names to the politically correct new names. I will try to respond to all emails that use the old "wrong" name and the "new correct" name. But I will not like it!

 The Ohio Bike Route Numbering System is the brainchild of Shawn E. Richardson   PO Box 612, Worthington, Ohio 43085. You may know Mr. Richardson as the author of many best selling trail book including  Biking Ohio's RailTrails  - Adventure Publishing. You may also want to see his website Biking USARailTrails . He has proposed a sensible and workable solution to the problems with trail names outlined above. I highly recommend the State of Ohio to seriously consider and then adopt Mr. Richardson's plan.
