"I have a window AC unit, but a few years ago just decided to leave it in the closet. I've just gotten used to being warmer when it's hot outside. Funny, I think I'm handling it better now than when I was 30 years younger.…"

I know you are out there...I ride a Copenhagen Pedersen, and I've heard rumor of another one on the North Side somewhere. I've also seen a Cheltenham Pedersen around Lincoln Square, and I'm told…Continue

...drivers wave me through a 4-way stop out of turn (i.e., when I am supposed to yield to them). When they do this, my gut reaction is to pretend I can't see them, put my feet down, fold my arms and…Continue

Jeff Schneider replied to Kevin C's discussion 'Public Service Announcement - Cable Locks!'"Not arguing against using locks or your argument about cables being weak. Just trying to say that the lock is just one part of a strategy. For example, leaving a bike in a public spot all day or all night, or at the same spot every day,…"
Jeff Schneider replied to Kevin C's discussion 'Public Service Announcement - Cable Locks!'"So, out of all the locked bikes that were stolen, roughly 2/3 were locked with a cable. Does anyone have a guess about what fraction of bike locks in use are cables? Not doubting that U-locks take much longer to cut, just wondering if…"
Jeff Schneider replied to Evan's discussion 'Fixed gear?'"I have a cheap fixed gear bike. It's nice & light, making it good to take on the train. And riding fixed does feel different - more efficient, I guess. But I do have brakes (why not?). A fixed gear would not be my…"
Jeff Schneider replied to Jim Shaw's discussion 'Skateboards in bike lanes?'"In theory it's OK with me. But in reality, I suspect that people on long boards know even less about law and etiquette than cyclists do. I also worry about what happens to me when they ditch the board and I run into it. The…"
Jeff Schneider replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"Even in a PBL you have to be ready for anything. Today a woman driving a Jeep turned SOUTHBOUND onto Dearborn. When she realized what she had done (the honking horns from the oncoming traffic perhaps made her look up from her phone), she…"
Jeff Schneider replied to Madeline's discussion 'Electric Bikes?'"Say what you want about the Lance wannabees on the LFP, at least most of them have a decent bike handling skills. Now imagine a large number of the clueless newbies going that fast or faster. *Cringe*

Jeff Schneider replied to Gabe's discussion 'Think of this as a Missed Connection.'"Probably the Zip car drivers just aren't too experienced or familiar with driving in the city. Prius drivers perhaps think they should get some award for their environmental consciousness. After all, Whole Foods gives them special…"
Jeff Schneider replied to Gabe's discussion 'Think of this as a Missed Connection.'"When drivers threaten me verbally or by grazing, I ask them if they intend to commit a crime. Then I recite their license plate number to them, so they know I can report it to police later if need be. What I don't do is get into an…"
Jeff Schneider replied to kiltedcelt's discussion 'LFP riders - show some courtesy, respect, and please, please, PLEASE show some COMMON SENSE!'"The LFP is a playground. That's a frustrating realization for those of us who would like to use it for transportation. I almost never ride the LFP, but when I do, I go slow, relax, and remember that it's first and foremost a…"
Jeff Schneider replied to Bill Nedza's discussion 'John Kass Chicago Tribune Article - Email Him and Show Him Some Cyclist Love!!!!'"I have an opinion about WLS, based on personal experience. I don't like their kind of entertainment. That's preference. You may disagree. I have never suggested that they shouldn't be allowed to provide that…"
Jeff Schneider replied to Bill Nedza's discussion 'John Kass Chicago Tribune Article - Email Him and Show Him Some Cyclist Love!!!!'"Kass, like the other right-wing blowhards on WLS, has a job to do. That's keep their listener base of hateful geezers tuned it, so that they can continue to sell ads for cancer treatment centers, cosmetic surgery, and ED clinics.…"

Cyclofemme Mother's Day Ride at Cricket Hill
May 12, 2013 from 11am to 2pm
Po Campo is leading this leisurely Mother's Day ride along the lakefront. We'll start with mimosas & juice at Cricket Hill (Montrose & Lakefront) and continuing south to the free Spring Flower Show at Lincoln Park Conservatory. Please bring the whole family! I hope to persuade my own parents to come.See More
Jeff Schneider replied to Haddon's discussion 'Is $9 a lot to pay for a new innertube?'"It's a little more than I usually pay. But the LBS doesn't make much profit on new bikes, and has to have a nice margin on accessories/spares, etc. For having a store stock what you need and have it there at the moment you need…"
Jeff Schneider replied to David crZven 10.6's discussion 'Have the Streets Gotten Worse?'"Wells is one of the few good routes north from downtown. It's really too bad the surface is such a mess through Oldtown now. Now we have to dodge lots of nasty divots as well as parking valets and drunken diners.
