Has anyone posted yet about the Lake Shore Path? It doesn't seem to be kept as clear as in years past. For at least a week, the part that runs from Oak Street Beach to Navy Pier has been covered with…Continue

Polka Ride! at Daley Plaza

January 25, 2013 from 5:30pm to 11:30pm
You know the drill. Bike to a bowling alley to party with the legendary power-Polka rock band the Polkaholics. Only this time, since Lincoln Square Lanes is closed for renovations, we'll be pedaling about 12 miles to Habetler Bowl, 5250 N. Northwest Highway in Jefferson Park (near Milwaukee and Foster, around the corner from American Science and Surplus). Full bar and snack bar are available, and the Jeff Park Blue Line stop is nearby, so why not make an evening of dancing and bowling? Dress…See More

SANTA RAMPAGE! at Departs Twisted Spoke at noon

December 15, 2012 all day
A Letter from Santa Ho, f****** ho, ho, Merry f$%^&*#@ Christmas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Santa's heard it all before. "Santa! Santa! I want stuff! Give me more STUFF!" I tell ya what, all that thankless consumerism is really starting to give old Santa a rash. You all seem to think that Santa exists for no other reason than to bust his ass every Christmas just so you can get the latest bit of tawdry crap you saw on your teevee last night. Christ! Well, when it comes down to it, Santa will…See More

"It's not MY solution.  I just wondered if it would be fair -since bikes are banned at rush hour and if someone from the CTA says it is "too crowded.""
