"Glad it worked out, but scary to take matters into your own hands like that. Never know what a bike thief could be capable of."

Chucko replied to Tiberculosis's discussion 'Bike Tights- Chamois or no Chamois?'"The following is not based on any actual fact, just personal preference: I just go with tights over regular bike shorts. Mostly because that means I can buy just about any tights that work, regardless of bike specificity. That is when I wear tights…"
Chucko replied to Chris B's discussion 'Of course the day I don't have my camera'"I think a lot of cab drivers have a temporary blindness to anything going on around them when they spot a fare. I'm sure he knew you were there, but I've seen a fair number of cabs cut off anyone else on the road to get a fare. Glad you…"
Chucko replied to T. Thomas Hardie's discussion 'Rivendell / Hillborne stolen near North & Wells on Sunday 11/20/2011'"I wasn't really saying that thieves specifically target high end bikes, they'll definitely take anything. I think the look more for the appearance of being high end. Though they probably know in general huffy is crap and anything carbon is…"
Chucko replied to T. Thomas Hardie's discussion 'Rivendell / Hillborne stolen near North & Wells on Sunday 11/20/2011'"I agree, and have been waffling on posting something similar. I am conflicted about posting this, because I really don't want to be one of those people who wags a finger and tells someone who's just had their heart ripped out that they…"
Profile Information
- What I ride:
- Road, Mountain, Fixed Gear
- The kind of riding I do:
- Recreational, Commuting, Distance, Around Town
- About me:
- As you can see from my pictures below, I'm a fixed gear fanatic. I commute on the Milwaukee fixed in the summertime, 30 miles round trip up to Glencoe every day I can. The other bikes are my city bikes, for locking up, riding in the winter, and the only geared bike is my trailer hauler and general cruising bike. With the exception of the mountain bike, I built them all from the frame up myself. I love to wrench as much as to ride them all.

Carrying junk on the cheap
To many who know me, I'm an eccentric bike geek. I love wrenching as much as riding my bikes, and can often be found geeking it up with other bike nerds in the "Bicycling" forum on Craigslist. Lately, with gas being as expensive as it has been, I've been working on eliminating the car for the few trips it was designated for around town. That goal, along with my insane need to build things has led to a couple of projects I just thought I'd share, since perhaps someone else might be interested in… Continue

Frosinone said… - hi chucko ... yeah I figured since most of the chainlinkers have all their face pictures showing (including you) I should not be the one "rugged individualist". I am a little more scared that craigslist has more weirdos than a cycling only social network, so there we are. Anyway today's Saturday so I am skating this morning at the Bicentennial rink (FREE !!!) while my wife spends time with some photography clients ... FYI I don't spend that much time here on chainlink so please be patient if I don't reply right away, esp. considering the holiday activity .. talk to you soon

Mully said… - Hey Chucko, thanks for the props on my bike..you are correct sir, an ANT it is. Got it about six months ago and it's dialed in nicely now, like riding a custom built stick of butter around town.
Ride safe,
Mully
