Heather replied to Joe TV's discussion 'Massive Lakeshore Erosion'"I go down that section a lot. It's been bad since last year, but this looks much worse than it was even a month ago. I have been meaning to call the city to ask what they were going to do about the erosion. This is a really pretty section to…"

Heather replied to Julie Hochstadter's discussion 'Crain's Chicago Business Article on The "Mary Poppins Effect"'"It's very rare that I wear anything other than street clothes when I ride, so I can't really say. I'll pay attention to the differences, if any, in the future though."
Heather replied to Rhea Butcher's discussion 'Passing other cyclists'"Well, maybe that guy was just a jerk. ;)"
Heather replied to Rhea Butcher's discussion 'Passing other cyclists'"I generally don't if there's a wide enough berth between me and the other cyclist and no cars on our left, etc. I find I say it more on the bike path when it's busy than on the street."
