Or worse near Oak Street Beach -it could turn into a flash-mob.  Pillows are the perfect thing when confronting a flash-mob!

The thought of the inevitable thigh-chafing is what brings tears to my own eyes.  But you know that they probably didn't ride more than a mile or two like that so it can't be that bad.

I suppose the slowly fading butt imprint on a tempur-pedic seat would be slightly less revealing than spandex?

I'm guessing that these two have no panniers or baskets on their bikes. I would suppose that what they have done is figure out a clever means of carrying their cushions to a spot on the lakefront perhaps where they will be used to soften a hard surface.

Given the numerous times I have seen folks pedaling their bikes home with grocery bags in each hand it would appear to me that once again the inventive minds of regular folks have found a way to carry something that would otherwise be impossible otherwise to tote safely.

At least neither is wearing flip-flops.
