Ano
Hee hee, I passed a dozen people on the A.M. commute! No it's not what you're thinking. Rookie wingnut maneuver, mistakenly under dressed. I was chilled the whole way, so it still wasn't speedy enough. P.M. was fine till the derailleur put the chain into the spokes, ouch. Minor adjustment to the H screw. Don't you just hate when you can't control your vibratory sensitive screws? No bent spokes so, good to go...

Me thinks it is a cyclocross bike (black), but I am not sure. He only comes out when it is warm, so it unlikely I will see him today. He does this around 5:00 north of Irving Park. He apparently does this to annoy - successfully - or he would stay on the gravel. He missed me by inches Tuesday and yesterday was okay, yet still surprising when you do not hear him coming. He is an accident yearning to occur.
Gene thank you for the explanation. Weird behavior to say the least. Must be very disconcerting when the animal passes on the right. Sounds like he thrills dominating people. I weakly suggest you get a pic of him. I say weakly because it may diminish your riding enjoyment. Which would be counter productive. Best bet, bless the tool and gratitude for no contact. Or whatever is sensible and best for you. Thank you Gene.

Derailleur into spokes is the 'L' screw.

At least he isn't a "dork" with that "ugly" disk...

Nice Gene. I especially like the lone maple? on the shoreline and the arcing shoreline pic above it. I headed out to the state park to test my "new" MTB today. Lots more miles on the road than the trails, but the trails were more work.

Had a great 40 mile loop using parts of the N. Shore Channel Trail and the N. Branch Trail and some streets in between. It's the first ride of the year where I dressed for summer: cycling shorts, short sleeve jersey and fingerless gloves. Wasn't cold!

Took a quick ride down the LFP to Montrose and shot some time lapse of the sunny day...
I have my cold weather riding get up down pat, and my warm weather gear all set, but this "in between" weather is going to require a lot of tinkering.

Fun, fun, fun in the sun! Warm air and sun are positively liberating!
"Derailleur into spokes is the 'L' screw." -- Dug. Nice, I'm glad someones paying attention to my screws.
"At least he isn't a "dork" with that "ugly" disk..." -- James. Hey I resemble that remark. ; )
Mark that forth shot transports me. It could be from any one of fifty different countries.
Skipton, digging the the death grip. ; )
Gene thanks for the magic, as always.
