Hey Chainlink, know what I think is lame?
When a website that claims to be promoting local cycling in the city of Chicago has a banner ad for a site which is one of the many internet discount outlets that make it hard for local bike shops.
Way to go Chainlink, bravo. Is the advertising dollar worth making things harder on the local shops here in Chicago?
Is this site about serving the local community or is it about being a profit center for it's owner?

Guess you guys want your local independent book stores to close down too.

No. I like bookstores. But if you shop at Target, your opinion is null and void:)

Good News. That will offset Po Campo which is moving the majority of their production to China. So much for 'made in Chicago' bicycling bags...

DUG, what did you find here?

Pick up 20 random objects in Rapid Transit and record where they were made. I bet China/Asia is tops.
Was there a local/US option available, albeit at a higher price? Hmmm......

ugh - they are hugely disappointing. Why do we need whole wheat pasta from Italy? I mean, sure, they make good pasta there, but who can tell the difference once one has slathered the stuff in sauce and veggies?
(I do shop there, but it is not convenient, so I don't shop there often.)

Where did you hear that? Are they planning on changing the names of their bags to reflect the Chinese Provinces in which they are made, instead of using familiar Chicago neighborhood names? Kind of ruins the "Made in Chicago" tagline on their website. Sad and disappointing, considering I was thinking about getting one of their satchel bags for my work commute instead of my traditional pannier.
