The Chainlink

Encounters In the Bike Lanes

It was so nice to see so many riders out today ! Ran into someone I knew today and yesterday on the road which was pretty cool. Today at Lincoln and Barry (ish) I was stopped at a light with 3 other riders. I asked if any of them were on the chainlink and one girl was. At a light on Southport I started talking to another rider, who when I asked if she was on chainlink said no, but was wondering what it was since she saw the sticker on the back of my helmet.

It's gonna be a great spring and summer!

A bit OT, but since the surrey bikes (that's what the 4 person anachronisms are technically called) came up, I have a proposal. It would be fun to get 4 strong cyclists together, rent one with insurance, get loaded, and see what one could handle. I picture a ramp, and a video camera. Respond on the Midnight Marauders group.

While, we're complaining. I'd like to give broken spokes to

  • the people with little yappy dogs on the path that don't have them on a short leash, I really don't want to crash because your dog decided that it had to get that squirrel on the other side of the path
  • the runners with ipods, I run on the path as well and I can understand wanting to listen to music, but please at least look back before turning without warning and keep the volume low enough that you can't hear me warning you
  • those 4 person rental pedicab things, you haven't made an appearance yet but you will. And I will hate you for taking up half the path while going at ludicrously slow speeds.

Hahaha, yeah!

Now if only they weren't single-speeds...

It's a little harder when living in hyde park. The LFP is a very convenient option getting north. Luckily, it's usually pretty good except for 2-3 spots until you hit the loop.
