I was beaming with pride last night on my way home from work along the LSP ("look at me going faster than the Lakeshore traffic in the rain!") when I got hit by a cross wind that blew me about twelve feet off my course. This was just south of Chicago Ave and north of Navy Pier where there is no ledge that would have kept me, my bike and my bulging ego from taking a cold dip.
Makes me wonder about the icy, windy winter and that stretch.

I've heard of at least one person that's fallen off but that was because someone was run off the lfp but by an oncoming cyclist. I'm not sure whether she got the bike back or not but the other guy paid for a replacement/repairs.
Anyone know a decent alternate route? I vaguely recall reading something on a listserve somewhere about the Inner Drive? It may not actually be any safer, though.
On hot days I've often been tempted to ride right into the water...
