This morning on my walk from the train to the office, I passed what appeared to be the aftermath of a minor accident at Adams and Dearborn. A woman with an orange Public bike was standing next to a police car, looking a bit shaken up, talking to a police officer. Next to her - a cab driver. Okay, so you're probably thinking "what's happy about that?"

On the surface, it looks like she's having a crappy morning. Under the surface: she's STANDING, not lying on the ground waiting for the ambulance. She's not bloody and battered. Her bike looks intact. It wasn't a hit and run. There's actually an officer at the scene taking a report. I felt bad for her bad start to the day, but happy that it wasn't getting a lot worse via ambulance ride to the ER. To the woman at Adams and Dearborn - if you're on this forum, I hope that you're okay, and that you follow up with the Crash Support Hotline if you need it.

Saw lots of other folks having lovely rides on this beautiful morning. Happy Friday, and let's be careful out there.

Count me in! Most of the time I AM enjoying riding my bike. Looking forward to more of that tonight. Wishing all of you a pleasant ride today.

Does seeing the new bike signals activated on Dearborn make you happy? Yes, they're lit. :)

Kevin--thanks for reminding us! My ride to work this morning was spectacular even though I could not see the sun coming up over the lake. I love riding my bike.

Okay, Anne, I am going to head outside to see them.
