"Sorry to hear about the accident.  I have no advice on fault, but I do suggest that you file a complaint on the officer (even though its a big hassle) since an officer should know what the law and regulations are.  I would also suggest…"

Liz replied to Brandon Moorhead's discussion 'Broken seat stays on an older frame'
"This seems pretty similar to the recent breaking of my 1987 schwinn voyaguer.  I'm busy today, but I'll load some pictures and a write up of possible failures modes later on. "

Liz replied to Tricolor's discussion 'Something broke my bike - Jackson and Wabash'
"My main confusion in this is why does that Starbucks have umbrellas? The outdoor seating area is covered by the building. "

Liz replied to Tricolor's discussion 'Something broke my bike - Jackson and Wabash'
"The bases of those umbrellas are pretty heavy and since the umbrellas are tall, if one tipped over (due to wind) and landed on the bike, the base and pole could easily hit the bike and inflict a good amount of damage.  Not saying it is…"

Liz replied to Pat hayes's discussion 'Where to park my car?'
"I'd sway against Navy pier as well, not only is it expensive and crowded, its probably the least nice area on the path for riding.  Depending on how far you want to go, I'd suggest starting somewhere south, like Promontory…"

Liz replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'
"My opinion on the reason is money and time.  It takes longer and is more work to broom finish. "

Liz replied to Steve Cohen's discussion 'Utility company street patching destroying bike routes'
"I wonder if this is an issue in terms of the city/utility contract agreements to pavement design.  Since the concrete strips are designed to meet the general specifications by the city, the utilities likely use them…"

Liz replied to Jim Shaw's discussion 'Skateboards in bike lanes?'
"I'd much rather deal with them in the bike lane and passing (while giving them lots of room), than having them dart around me when I'm walking on the sidewalk. "

Hey, for the IL beach SP ride, would you mind if myself and Brittany were to share a site with you and cam? we have a 2 (and 3) person tent of our own. I wasnt sure how this all worked so I put our names down on the spread sheet but that can easily be changed.
