"How do you get to the McCormick busway and is it legal for a bike to ride this route?  "

"I'd like to pay a cab driver a salary instead of by the mile. Maybe then I could respect them more. I hate the way they drive and will not use a cab unless I have no other choice and then I'll search for one.   At the same tiem bus…"

"Hey,   One thing that could be good for local comunities and the distance between bus stops is that cabs could make money giving people short trips. If you don't like cars maybe those bike cabs we see downtown could set up small businesses…"

"I agree that transit lines should transend political boundaries. But how would we pay for them. I think the transit system is partially funded with our tax monies kinda like our school systems are.   This system realy isn't fair, in my…"

"I'm glad the Kinzie thing is working and hope it can be spread to Stony. Becasue my wife and i rode around Stony yesterday. We saw lots of riders out there on the side streets avoiding Stony becasue of the speed of the drivers. They may not…"

"Wow,   I forgot. This is going to be a tough week for me becasue I have choir practice tonight and tomorrow. But maybe Thursday I can ride by after work. It's expected to rain Wed - Fri will you be there if it rains?"

"Wow,   This is kind clost to my home. I'll try to find time to stop by and help. No promisses as to when but I will be by there soon..."

"This is why I hate the Condo idea. I have to pay rent to pay a mortgage and rules are placed on me to live where I pay.   I'm sure there are advantages but I may as well rent if I'm going to sacrifice all that to sudo-own.   :("

"Ok Steven,   Fair enough some people could say that the protected lane isn't enought to stop a 1 ton car from hitting me so I'm still not going to ride it. But it will at least get people talking about biking and that energy could get…"

"GREAT!   Man, I am soooo happy to hear this! I mean I've ridden the newly paved trail through Jackson Park to the lakefront and was hopeful that Stony would get a bike lane, till I read this blog.   I moved from Palmer Square, in the…"
