Yes.  And, I took a Westward detour at Wells/Kinzie to see what all the hub-bub was about with the cycle track.  Impressive; I do think that set-up would get my wife on city streets more.  However there was a large impediment on the South lane.  See my other post for that pic.
Man, this morning was beautiful. Bright sunshine, light traffic, and just enough wind to keep the temps moderate. On days like this, I don't understand why people voluntarily choose to travel in a car/bus/train...
Only one word for this morning: glorious.  I wanted to sing.  If every day during the Chicago summer could be like this, I'd be in heaven.

My ride was fantastic today, to add to the chorus! I pulled up to a red light at Lincoln and Diversey (I think) and saw a middle-aged guy in a car beside me, windows rolled up, lighting up a cigarette and looking haggard and unhappy.. all I could think was how much better his quality of life would be right now if he was on a bike feeling the wind on his face and the sunshine on his shoulders like me!

Just my fanciful thoughts while I ride...

Yes.  Maybe even nicer than yesterday.  Took LFP to Oak, then over to Wells to check out the cycletrack in Kinzie. 

Still some issues there...

 

Today was gorgeous and made my commute so much more pleasant.  I would like to thank the guy in black on the gold/ champagne colored Raleigh singlespeed for the great pace he set from Leland and Lincoln all the way to Diversey. I was running about 15 minutes late today and he was just zooming along, so I just stepped up my pace, kept him in sight and made it to work early instead of being late.  Even got my heart rate up a bit. Thanks!
I'm not wanting this weather to end.  Another glorious commute.  I love this city in the summer!

Amazing.

That's all.

 

It's the last day of nice weather before the oppressive heat and humidity roll in.  I took advantage of it and rode to work today.  Gorgeous!

I could not have asked for a better week to get back to bike commuting.

 

I even had great stop light timing today and not much traffic downtown.
