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

Maybe.

Comment by Lee Diamond on March 8, 2010 at 5:59am: Hmmm. Liar's Club?

Comment by Lee Diamond on March 8, 2010 at 5:37am: 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.
