"Motorized vehicles generally do not have the ability to modulate their sound.  That would be a great thing. You could have a hard and soft beep. It would be cool if the pressure you put on the horn effected the volume. Soft push for "hey…"

David Barish replied to Sam Juicebox's discussion 'Commuting to the 'Burbs'
"Kedzie is a pretty decent street for bikes.  You could take Kedzie up north until you get near the Channel trail or take it until it ends (its called Jersey up there) by Lincoln Village. You can then pick up the trail north of Devon as far as…"

David Barish replied to SlowCoachOnTheRoad's discussion 'Favorite Loop to Northside routes?'
"+1 Clark south to Wrigley is great. Its still decent going south of there.  I might simply take Clark south to Halsted which is just south of Belmont.  I would take Halsted south to Lincoln and Lincoln south to Wells. Wells to…"

David Barish replied to Austin Milbarge's discussion 'Father of Ghost Bike victim wants daughters bike removed, still there though.'
"I notice the same thing. There always seem to be fresh flowers in that bike.  I always look at it and think about it.  As a parent I can only imagine what the family of this poor girl has felt over the years. I think I would want the bike…"

David Barish replied to Bill Nedza's discussion 'John Kass Chicago Tribune Article - Email Him and Show Him Some Cyclist Love!!!!'
"(sigh) alas, you are so right.  We have to be aware that there is an audience for whatever it is that he brings.  His voice sings in a chorus, a shrill one, but still a chorus.  Its not the most off key voice in that newspaper. Have…"

David Barish replied to Brian's discussion 'Another cyclist hit?'
"There is really no need to engage and there is rarely any benefit.  If you must, you can put it more simply.  "Its illegal for me to ride on the sidewalk. I am where I belong."  You can follow up with "deal" or…"

David Barish replied to Brian's discussion 'Another cyclist hit?'
"At 1020 am there is really no excuse for this.  Traffic should not have been that heavy. LaSalle is a big street and there should have been plenty of room for everybody.  I was in a motorized vehicle on LaSalle during rush hour and there…"

"I can't keep up with the ultra fast group at EBC, even in my dreams.  However, there are groups leaving at just about any pace starting at about 10 mph and  making the way up to the above mentioned peleton.  If EBC is not too…"
