Cycling in Chicagoland this weekend doesn't get much better!  

;-)

Nice ride this AM.  I don't mind the muggy weather at all!

I rode down Wells today for the first time in a month or so. It's so nice and smooth!

Miserable morning.  At least when I get home after riding through temps in the 90s I'll have a shower...

Buzzed by a cab all the way from Milwaukee/Augusta to the Merchandise Mart.  Didn't say a word to him, but took his photo.  He got out and yelled, "Take a photo as I'm slapping the shit out of you!".  #2480.

Great way to start the morning!

Did you use the PBL that now covers most of that stretch? Trying to figure out how he could buzz you if you did.

Yes, I use the "protected" bike lanes on both Milwaukee and Kinzie (and eventually Dearborn). He was weaving in and out of them. The bollards are now spaced out enough for cars to drive in and out of the bike lane (if parked cars aren't blocking them).

No one cares about traffic laws in this city because no one enforces them.

At least you didn't have to avoid a Bud Light truck taking up the entire width of the Lake Front Trail, and knocking tree branches onto bikers and joggers.

Sounds to me like a complaint needs to be filed both with the City Taxi Licensing group and the police.

Please tell us you skitched with one hand and drank a bud with the other!
