Trying to get out of ohio

[livefree93]

Any tips for dealing with the turnpike? Been walking alot lately needing a ride and in a truckstop area for 2 days now with no luck. Anyone had decent luck lately near toledo?

I'd get a bus if you can. It's pretty rare to get picked up in Ohio. It happens but very rarely

Check out the adventure cycling website for a map of all the major bike trails in the US. There's plenty that go across and through the whole country. The bikepacking section of this site is a great source of information too.

If you can get to Toledo, it looks like there's a bike coop there: Toledo Bikes! Services - https://www.toledobikes.org/sales--service.html

I don't know anything about that one, but bike coops can be a good place to get a cheap used bike and meet other traveling types.

Im like 15 or 20 miles from toledo. I'm sure I'll probably have to head that way before I leave this area

From ohio myself. You can find rides if you're out in the hills, but the big cities are about impossible to catch a ride out of. Columbus especially -- with how spread out it is, it feels like there's no community identity, no honor to be maintained by giving people a ride. Everyone's so alienated up there. Sad to see, but difficult to break from. I'd try to spange a greyhound ticket probably. Had a rough time even getting food from a food bank up there.
