A Visit to the Pro Football Hall of Fame

     On Wednesday, we cycled 55 miles through lovely Amish farm country in Ohio, from Ashland to Canton. Helped by favorable winds, we arrived in Canton in plenty of time to have some minor bike repairs done and then to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Canton has a special place in the history of professional football, as the American Professional Football Association, the predecessor of the National Football League, was founded there in 1920.
     We continue to be struck by how car-oriented and pedestrian-unfriendly the medium-sized towns are in Indiana and Ohio. We went to a restaurant about a half mile from our hotel, and without a car the only choices to get there were to bike on unbikable roads or walk on unwalkable roads. We chose the latter, walking beside a highway through weeds and dirt and crossing two multi-lane roads without benefit of pedestrian crossing lights.
