Who Did You Run Into (See) Today On Your Commute/Ride?

Who did you run into that you know today on your ride? Today was unlike any other day, especially in nice weather.

Aaron at Belmont and Clark and then my brother's ex girlfriend/yoga instructor at Schubert and Clark.

I unfortunately live in the desolate part of Chicago where Chainlinkers don't seem to wander or live in....sad panda.

But if anyone sees a guy on a black Trek road bike with a yellow backpack on Milwaukee or up in the Niles/Morton Grove area that is me! Just don't be a scofflaw or I will politely call you out.

The increasingly rare and elusive Ron, late of New Orleans, on Milwaukee Avenue looking dapper on a late 70's Kettler that he practically stole at an estate sale.

I ran into my clone self on Elston. I bought him a while ago to go into work for me but he split after a couple weeks. I tried getting my money back, but I didn't read the fine print or something. What sucks is that he's obviously doing better than I am right now. He acted like he didn't know me. The doctor gave me some meds to help.

Saw, and spoke with, Rahm Emanuel around 5:50 this morning. I was waiting for the light at Milwaukee and Chicago when his SUV pulled up next to me; he asked me about the conditions of the bike lanes - told him Elston was a bit dicy because of debris.

Hey, nice work! I saw a street sweeper at about 7:45 in the northbound Elston bike lane south of Division. Hope he was going all the way to North and then turning around to go south.

Holy commuters on the NW side yesterday. I usually only see 1 or 2, but saw more like 6-7. I was driving because I had physical therapy for an ankle injury, but riding today. Maybe see some today?

Thank you to the kick ass commuter who stopped and helped me on Wells this morning after my rear rack decided it didn't want to be attached to my bike anymore. I owe you a beer!!

In the past I had a similar experience after I took out one of my bikes that I hadn't ridden in a while. After riding a bit and then hitting a few bumps I started hearing noises I didn't like. Upon investigation i realized that my rear rack was extremely loose and I had lost one of the attachment bolts. For whatever reason why it happened, possible tampering or interrupted thievery in the past, or my not tightening it down enough. It's always a good idea to give your bike a 'shakedown' check. Shake your bike for loose connections and do a systems safety check before you takeoff. Especially if you're taking you're taking your bike out for the first time in this new 'cycling season of 2015' !
