Chicago bicycle blogs-- any suggestions?

There is a short list of bicycle blogs on TheChainLink. Many people who ride bikes love to talk and write about it. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other cycling oriented blogs based in Chicago.

Here is my list of blogs, the dates of the most recent posting, and the responsible author(s) or organization.

An impressive list indeed. So, which ones are actually worth reading? My time is not unlimited, so if I can only read a few blogs, which one should I read?

CrazyGuyOnABike is contains many interesting journals of tours. It doesn't have an RSS feed so requires you to go look at it and read when you have time or remember to do so.

While not necessarily about Chicago, http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/ has a lot of ties to the area.

I think that is personal choice depending upon your interests. John Greenfield is a professional writer and his posts tend to be longer and are really well written. Read him if you are interested in the place where cycling and society meet. George Christiansen blogs when he travels. He is just completing a cycling trip in Africa. Read him if you are interested in cycling touring. My suggestion is to spend an hour figuring out which ones interest you and then select a couple to follow. Using and RSS feed makes it really easy to scan post titles and decide which ones to read on a daily or weekly basis.

I've started a blog entry on my own blog so I can keep my own list up to date.

I write the blog Let's Go Ride a Bike that Gary mentioned up top, along with my friend Trisha in Nashville. Anyone interested in bicycling as a transportation solution and a simple lifestyle should stop by, especially women!
