"Bob, I'm glad you had a great year cycling! I'm sorry to report that where I generally cycle, it wasn't so glorious. Regardless of the fewer miles being driven, automobile-related deaths in Illinois are considerably up in 2020. There…"

"First, Yasmeen, I'd like to thank you for all the energy and effort you've put into this site. I've benefited an awful lot being here. You rock! Secondly, could you be a little more specific about how you feel the site isn't…"

"Less, but slowly increasing. I do most of my riding on the streets of the South Side, never exactly the most welcoming environment. When traffic declined precipitously, I thought I'd be riding around everywhere. However, I quickly discovered…"

"Has anyone seen a list of exactly which access points will initially be open? "

"Hmmm...I couldn't seem to edit or even delete my comment in Chrome just now. I wanted to add that in my opinion, I think that a significant percentage of police stops of black people in Chicago are in fact pretextual, a seizing upon a minor…"

"I will say straight up that I am a fairly lefty Democrat who believes that the absolute most important thing in politics right now is to defeat Donald Trump. I am and for a long time have been in favor of systemic reform of policing in America.…"

"This doesn't surprise me in the least. I mean, in my long years of cycling in Chicago I've had every conceivable silly little thing taken off my bike: lights, bells, bungee cords, any number of cheap water bottles, those flashing valve…"
