That apartment building on the corner creates wind. I absolutely avoid that intersection on windy days because the worst of the wind hits as one is passing the backed up cars!

Today was very nice for riding. There's a film crew camped out along Wabash Ave near my office this week filming a pilot but no emergency crews or anything cool like that.

First ride in over a week due to a nasty cold. Lovely sunrise. The pic was taken at LFT @ Ardmore about 6:35. Hopefully the cell phone pic is good enough...

It's a beautiful crisp cool morning for a ride. I had a group of five guys at the train station totally intrigued by my Dahon folder, so I got delayed for a few minutes doing a folding/unfolding demo and answering questions. Folding bikes seem to interest a lot of random folks.

I've often found it interesting to observe who is interested in folders and asks the most questions when I ride mine. I've gotten lots of questions over the years from Metra conductors.

There have been film crews working around Dearborn and Van Buren yesterday and today. Don't know if it's for Chicago Fire or something else.

...Yesterday my usual route also featured a scene being shot for the Chicago Fire teevee show. It was pretty fun in the morning to see [SPOILER SORT OF] two tanker trucks on their side in the soon to be a park at Loomis and Lock. On my way home actual shooting was happening. I was glad to see this sign:

as these scenes can look pretty realistic, uh, except of course for all the crew and stuff...
