"I recently had Adam at Peregrine Bike Studio do an on-bike fit for a bike I had previously purchased from another shop. I am very pleased with the results. They are running a very COVID safe operation at the moment, requiring appointments and only…"

"I'm generally riding the same number of miles, maybe a little more than normal. My daily bike commute has disappeared, and I have little need to bike for running errands, but working from home has given me more time for longer solo rides during…"

"I was out at Caldwell Woods this morning with my kid and dog. We were walking and exploring mostly off trail along the river where it wasn't muddy. It was really nice to get out and enjoy some fresh air and nature. The North Branch Trail…"

"Wolf Lake trails are a great option for anybody on South/Southeast side. https://www.openlands.org/places/regional-trails/wolf-lake-trails/ Or Old Plank Road trail in the South/SW burbs. https://oprt.org/maps.htm"

"I road from the start at Foster several miles north and back and there were no "trail closed" signs, barricades, or anything else to indicate it was closed."

"Maybe it's changed in recent years, but the one Critical Mass ride I joined 15ish years ago definitely had a sense of civil disobedience and protest, with a goal (at least by some) of intentionally antagonizing motorists during the Friday…"

"The Chick-fil-a and Panera drive-thru going in across the street have the "heavy traffic business" angle covered already, but I guess it could always be worse? We should be happy that it's not a gas station I suppose. I had…"

"Here you go.  It's basically a driving range surrounded by parking. A very suburban approach to a parcel that is in the middle of a major city.   It's hard to tell if there's even a sidewalk along Elston, not that…"

"Our cities are better with more people riding bikes and less cars. In my opinion, I'd rather people cycling without helmets than drive cars. I also believe the more people on bikes and less people in cars, the safer our cities will…"

"Awesome thread. Last year was the first time I've ever really tracked my mileage on an annual basis, and specifically tracked my commuting mileage. I managed 827 miles on Divvy in 2019, so I guess a goal for 2020 would be to top 1000 miles of…"

"Helmet use and mandatory helmet laws are two different things.  Do I think it's a good idea to always wear a helmet when riding a bike or scooter? Yes.Do I think it's a good idea to criminalize the act of riding a bike or scooter…"

"As of last week, 114 pedestrians have been killed by cars in NYC this year. 6 pedestrians were killed in a 72 hour stretch just last week.  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/22/nyregion/pedestrian-deaths-nyc.html If NYC was serious about safety,…"
