Cycling is a fantastic sport for all ages – whether it be the morning commute to work or a day out with the kids on the weekend, everyone can find some fun. It not only offers a great workout for all fitness levels but also provides for a greener and more economical choice.

Ohio
The state of Ohio now has more bicycle route miles than any other state, boasting a total of 1,523 miles. Sport is a pretty big thing in Ohio, especially considering the recent success of the Cincinnati Bengals winning their first playoffs and the Cleveland Cavaliers smashing their preseason win.

For you sports fans, it’s an exciting time since the legalization of sports betting across the state, as you can not only watch your favorite team or event but also place a wager. It’s advised to visit a reputable online comparison site, such as a Caesars Sportsbook promo code in Ohio, where you can look up relevant information.

The comparison site will provide information on the best sportsbooks, their great promotions and perks. However, to get in on the real action, why not establish your own workout through the state of Ohio along the 1,500+ miles of cycling routes. Did you know that the goal of the US Bicycle Route System is to have 50,000 miles across the country?
