"I haven't forgotten anything Jeff. Who said I was passing unsafely? I said I was giving them even more room than the bike lane allows. Also, do you not get that it is stupid to put a sign right in the middle of where people are allowed and…"

Jason W replied to Gabe's discussion 'Think of this as a Missed Connection.'
"Maybe I did not explain it well enough. Here is an example of the street. I don't drive a lot, but do on occasion. I was speaking of times when I am driving my car, and go into the oncoming lane to give cyclists more room. For instance I am in…"

"I'm not sure about the one you are referencing, but the ones on Damen though East Village/Wicker park are all in passing zones. I give cyclists as much room as possible when passing, often going into the oncoming lane. I almost whacked one the…"

Jason W replied to Andrew Bedno's discussion 'Segways on LFP?'
"I remember when we discussed this before. The search here sucks! I thought I remember someone, maybe active trans, called one of the tour companies and got them to stop taking tours on the LFP? Can't remember now."

Jason W replied to Evan's discussion 'Biking with lightning? Crazy or hardcore?'

Jason W replied to Christine (5.0)'s discussion 'Brooks Professional saddle stolen in Logan Square'
"Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Just lift it with one hand through the fence, then hand it to the other. That would take less than 10 seconds to steal. Anyway, sorry for your loss. Be careful thieves will grab anything not bolted down."

Jason W replied to Christine (5.0)'s discussion 'Brooks Professional saddle stolen in Logan Square'
"Uhhh, they could have just reached in through that fence, unlatched the quick release, and took it right over the top. I can't believe you thought this was safe."
