Description
The scary thing about this ride, is that if you show up, will I?
Nearly everything about this tour is a lie. Celebrating April Fool's Day, I am doing a tour of the Northside of Chicago, where, in contrast to the architecture/neighborhood tours I do, EVERY STOP IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUTRAGEOUS MISINFORMATION.
The ride will be 10 to 15 miles. It will certainly involve large amounts of fibbing, nonsense, tall-tales, April Fool's jokes, and bike riding. And a bit of drinking too.
To start things off, here are a few lies about the ride:
1 - No one will have any fun.
2 - We will start directly on time.
3 - I will be doing my normal, detailed research on every subject for the ride.
4 - I will be wearing a suit for the first time in over a decade.
5 - Howard Kaplan will be there.
6 - This ride will completely suck.
See you there.......maybe.
Cheers - Lee Diamond

I think Maybe is the perfect vaguery for the event in that case.
Maybe.

And in all seriousness we need a post-ride drinking with food destination on the north side.
It is a Thursday evening, so it shouldn't be as crowded as a weekend, but it needs to be flexible enough to accommodate a small or large or medium or non-existent group.
Nominations may begin now.
Invite all of your worst enemies to this ride. I promise to figure out a way to turn them into pink miniature unicorns during the ride. Since unicorns cannot ride bicycles (a well-proven FACT!), that will also give you another bicycle. Since you are riding your own bike, you may wish to bring some extra u-locks so you can take lock up the bicycle of your former worst enemy, who is now a miniature pink unicorn, which has just donated their bicycle to you. Come back and pick it up later when you don't already have a bicycle with you.
Everybody wins. Some more than others.

Let's not to forget the tour of Barack Obama's house, led (on bikes) through the house by Barack himself.

Nice one. Let's play Bill Brasky ("2 describe a third" lying improv game).
