Jack Crowe replied to h' 1.0's discussion 'Hey you.... out there in the cold.... are you on Chainlink?'"I pass a guy with a tan helmet with reflective strips that may or may not have come with the helmet. Has a typical commuter bike, and by that I mean I never remember what his bike is until I pass it. He rides Clark south towards the loop."
