<p>Thanks Ken, it was cool turning it over to the collective sleuthing of the bike geek internets to fill in the backstory on it! :) I'll keep googling some of the names/race titles people mentioned to see if I can figure some more stuff out. </p>

<p>Okay. Now i have a good enough monitor to make out "chicago" on the barracades... duh. 1980-81 might be right, but it feels older in the pic. By '75 i was wearing a hardshell -a Kunoh hockey helmet-then bought a Bell Biker around '78. Seem to remember that USCF banned hairnets in '80- maybe earlier. i was a USCF ref in the early 80's, but i don't remember when the hardshell rule came in. Anyone?</p>

<p>Sears Tower is there, hiding in plain sight in the middle of the photo. You can tell it by its very wide structural bays.</p>

This looks very much like the corner of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://g.co/maps/9bzxa" target="_blank">Taylor and Halsted</a>, looking northeast. The skyline has changed a little, but the parking garage is a ringer.</p>
