"It was a nice ride despite the rain.  It was light and the temps were moderate.  I was surprised to see only two other bikes on the LFP from Wilson to Museum Campus.  And no other bikes in my building's bike room.  It…"

JeffB (7+ miles) replied to Mark Newald's discussion 'Out of town chainlinker ideas....'
"Yeah, skip Wells.  Its not good biking in Old Town.  I agree that you should take Clark instead. A good recommendation right on the border between Old Town and Lincoln Park is Perrenial Virant for dinner and J Parker for drinks.…"

"I can understand the good intentions behind such events, but ultimately think they're a waste of time and resources.  Those resources could be put to better use giving those polite warnings to the drivers of vehicles that are much more…"

JeffB (7+ miles) replied to carfreecommuter's discussion 'Michigan Bike Trip - How do I get my bike there?'
"Plus, as someone mentioned above, you can take Metra to Kenosha to cut some of the distance.  Kenosha to Milwaukee is 35 miles.  You'd have to take the earliest train to make it in time though.  It gets to Kenosha around 8:30am,…"

JeffB (7+ miles) replied to Serge Lubomudrov's discussion 'I have to admit . . . (or, Is it too hot for you?)'
"I'll ride in any weather, but I'd prefer a ride in 100 degrees to one in 10 degrees.  But its starting to get to ideal riding temps now.   If riding in the heat bothers you, remember you need not only water but also electrolytes.…"

JeffB (7+ miles) replied to Sarah Lewert's discussion 'No more free parking at McDonald's Cycle Center'
"Sarah, I'm still unclear.  Does this apply only to the spaces inside the building, or also to the racks outside? "

JeffB (7+ miles) replied to Sarah Lewert's discussion 'No more free parking at McDonald's Cycle Center'
"Are you talking about the outside racks?  That would suck because that's the best place to park during concerts at Millennium.  Btw, how would they know?; do members put stickers on their bikes?"

JeffB (7+ miles) replied to peter moormann's discussion 'Worst Street in Chicago Contest?'
"Those train-track underpasses are always the worst.  There are few streets where you can get through unshaken. The short block of Green St between Milwaukee and Grand is the worst I've seen."
