"I have had a Prodeco e-bike for with dubious results.
Tho the bike at 350watts is well powered for an assisted commute and the 36v system at 9Ah worked well for a 8mile one way commute with a charge (appx 2hrs or half power) during the…"

Jeff Markus replied to Ryan Anderson's discussion 'Storing a Bike at a Metra Station'"Actually the commute you describe (Start Elgin end Bensenville) would be relatively safe places to leave a beater tho beaters might regularly get 'harvested' for parts. If you wouldn't mind a couple extra miles the Itasca station is a…"

Jeff Markus replied to Jenn_5.5 mi's discussion 'Mountain Biking Out West'"Riding the real mountains raises a few issues that ya might not think of.
Altitude...Chicago is 600feet, Colorado is 6000 to 10,000 in areas that are fun to ride.
Riding trails are plentiful but ask what the local rules and courtesies are.

Jeff Markus replied to h' 1.0's discussion 'REI 20% off one item sale ends tonight-- anyone take advantage?'"I took advantage of my dividend and coupon to pick up a tent, but alas that won't be a bike camping option rather an auto camping kit. However the windstopper gloves if I can still find 'em come next winter weather will be handy.
For the…"
Jeff Markus commented on Aaron Bussey's group 'Look Chicago!'"Well I may not be as available fer a while as I'm getting back into the work-a-day world. I start a new job on the 1th but should be able to hit weekend affairs and possible Metra/transit station handouts.
KatieP, if ya'll can send cards…"

Jeff Markus posted a discussionApril 10 Meeting Regarding Foster Safety Improvements
Howdy folks,I just recieved this announcement on a meeting about Foster Ave upgrades. Involvement in the process is one way to be heard and show the community that bikers are a functioning part of the community.I will probably miss a Climate Change film (Chasing Ice) and social to be at the Mayfair Library for this meeting. Let's show the Chicago political structure we care and have a desire to improve the streets and transit structure of our city.Jeff Dear Neighbor,For a number of years, my…See More
Jeff Markus commented on Aaron Bussey's group 'Look Chicago!'"Is the carding for April 6th (sat.) still on? I would hav to miss it as I have training for Election work.
Sorry but its money fer me.
Keep me posted on getting some cards for a Metra stop blitz. Also maybe a banner for catching eyes at fixed place…"
Jeff Markus commented on Aaron Bussey's group 'Look Chicago!'"Yo Katie,
I could easily pass out a couple hundred cards on one day (afternoon commute) can we arrange a pick-up, or can I get them right from the printer? If they are accessible to me from up in Gladstone Park (just northwest of Jefferson Park...ya…"
Jeff Markus commented on Aaron Bussey's group 'Look Chicago!'"I can easily hit the afternoon crowd at Jeff Park as they meander back to their cars and if anybody knows who to talk to I can see about hanging a banner while I'm there.
Catching drivers as they return to their cars and /or return home should…"
Jeff Markus replied to Lisa Curcio 4.0 mi's discussion 'I shoveled today. Did you?'"Well being unemployed and needing to feel useful on Tuesday I hit the walks 3 times the last after the snaow stopped. When I looked out this morn the 35degree temps had cleared it down to concrete so YEAH.
The street is messy but I'm off any…"
Jeff Markus replied to Ryan Morris's discussion 'A way to remind cars...'"I grasp the 'subliminal' concept of the idea BUT question whether putting anything on the mirror wouldn't block or distract the driver/passenger as they are about to disembark. The added bizzyness could be more of a deterent to their…"
Jeff Markus replied to Active Transportation Alliance's discussion 'Support protected bike lanes on Milwaukee Ave.!'"No not 10X dumber but 10X more innocent, 10X more naive and guilty of driving with tunnel vision.
A method of converting Milwaukee to a dual system with NO PARKING at all would be safer...One set of lanes for cars and one set of lanes for bikes, no…"
