I am a photographer, DJ, but foremost a bicyclist.

I am in Chicago from Jan 3 to Feb 2 and I would like to soak up and document bicycle culture in the city.

I helped write the Cyclists' Bill of Rights - http://bikewriterscollective.com/ My last job was delivering food on my bicycle in Downtown LA. Before that I was shooting photos for a local newspaper and delivering the paper using a dutch cargo bike. I was paid by Bacardi to ride with 41 other people from NYC to LA 3 summers ago. I'm comfortable riding road bikes, track bikes, tall bikes, swing bikes, I just love bikes and most any bike community.

Originally I was supposed to stay in Wicker Park for the entire month, but my friend has to be in Nashville for family stuff (I found this out Jan 2).  Currently I'm crashing at a friends house in Old Irving, but I will probably be crashing in Logan Square next week.

If anyone has an extra bike that I can use for a ride, a week, the month, or whatever it would be greatly appreciated. I did bring a U-lock!

THANKS,

Mikey Wally
