Bryan Kersten replied to Matt Roben's discussion 'Designing bike rack space in condo building'"One of the things I did when I got on our condo board was to tackle the problem of year of bikes wasting away in our cramped storage room that hadn't been used in years and most likely belonged to people long gone. It took a while but I think…"

May 1st Tweed Ride! at Red Lion English Pub
May 1, 2011 from 1pm to 6pm
Dress in your finest tweedy gear (or at least Sunday best), strap a picnic basket on your steed, and let's ride! This promises to be a delightful spring ride, and if you're not familiar with this part of the city, you'll be quite chuffed at the charming sights along the way. Everyone who arrives in appropriate garb, receives a commemorative hub shiner or basket medal, handmade from leather. Spandex queens and hipster bores shall have none. We will meet at a dandy English establishment - the Red…See More

- So last Friday I am returning to home from Waukegan via Metra and the ornry train conductor tells me I CANNOT take my bike with me due to Lollapalooza. I ask him how I was allowed to take it on this morning to get here and he tells me that was up to the discretion of the conductor. I ask him if he can wait for me to lock up my bike and replys to me- if you hadn't been arguing with me this whole time you could have already been back on the train- and proceeds to leave without me. Since the train only comes once an hour, I decided that a 40 mile commute home in the rain on my bike was the only acceptable alternative. What is wrong with people that the only power they can wield is over people and their bikes... PATHETIC. Never the less, just under 2.5 hrs later (with a head wind of course) I managed to get home. BASTARDS!

T.C. O'Rourke said… - Somehow I knew you wouldn't say "I got it at Sears".
Next time I go to Europe, I may try to bring one back, but they're pretty pricey from what I've seen-- $3,000 and up (new). I think the odd parts might be an issue as well. 25" wheels with sew-ups, no?
I might try to have one built with more American standard parts.
Pretty cool though...

- Hi Matt--
We haven't met, but I'm wondering where I might find an artistic cycling bike. Did you import yours?
