I was just curious about what time most of the bike commuters are out there. Usually my ride to work is pretty deserted but I was up and out a couple of hours earlier than normal this morning and I was surprised by the increase in cyclists out there.
It seems there is a legitimate cycling rush hour, what time do you think that is?

7:40-8:15 and 4:30-5:05 Buena and Sheridan to State and Erie.
I try to be in the Loop at 8:30, when I'm a little earlier or latter I see a lot more cyclists. It seems like there's a group of 8:00 people and a group of 9:00 people.
I typically leave the Loop around 6:00 or 6:30 and don't see many other cyclists. When I leave around 5:00 I see more.

Ukrainian Village via lakeview to the south side of the loop between 7-8 and 5-6
