As temperatures climbed to mid-summer warmth the third week of October, bicycle traffic thickened along the lake on West Bank Road where I live. Out of curiosity, I decided to find out when the first bicycle was invented.
BELLBROOK - A pair of special teams plays and a long drive after halftime kept Celina close into the fourth quarter, but its defense couldn't stop Bellbrook and an ill-timed turnover buried the Bulldogs.
