Tom Z replied to Donald P Kingston's discussion 'How to get commuter train to accept bicycles?'"I would start with working with Active Transportation, isn't that the sort of thing they deal with?"
Tom Z replied to Serge Lubomudrov's discussion 'What Happened to "[Passing] on Your Left"? . . .'"I can't imagine using it on the LFP. There are so many people you would lose your voice half way.
I do use it on the North Branch trail, but as stated above, many people don't hear you since they are wearing headphones, so I've also…"
Tom Z commented on Active Transportation Alliance's event 'Bike Commuter Challenge/Chicago Bike Week'"It's too bad, it's so complicated to log your miles. I have many people at work that rode, but just don't want to deal with registering, and logging miles in by entering a couple of addresses.
It would have been a lot easier if you…"
Tom Z commented on Active Transportation Alliance's event 'Bike Commuter Challenge/Chicago Bike Week'"What kind of problems? It seems to be working OK for me..."
Tom Z commented on Cameron 7.5 mi's event 'Ride to Ride the Rails'"This sounds like great fun, too bad I will be out-of-town, but I will be riding the Katy Trail in MO, so I guess it's not too bad of a compromise.
I will watch for a future ride."
Tom Z replied to spencewine's discussion 'Desplaines River Trail' in the group Chicagoland Bike Trails - News & Conditions"If anyone comes across the U part of the U-Lock, I lost it somewhere north of Allison Woods. This is what I get for riding a hybrid bike on this bumpy part of the path. The trail is in great condition once you get north of Lake-Cook Road.

Tom Z commented on Active Transportation Alliance's event 'Bike Commuter Challenge/Chicago Bike Week'"Did my first ride to work today. 33 miles round-trip."
Tom Z replied to annlaura's discussion 'Getting used to riding with kid in rear seat?'"For people considering riding with a child, if you can afford it, the best thing is a trailer. This way the weight of the child is on the trailers wheels, also they can move around more without affecting the balance of the bike.

Tom Z replied to Michael A's discussion 'WSJ does not seem to like the new bike share program in NY'"I was watching this and thought this was the Onion not WSJ.
I was looking for a place to make comments on the WSJ website about the video, but it can't be found."
Tom Z replied to Zeina Abou-Said's discussion 'New High Tech Bike Lock Launches on Indiegogo'"This seems a bit over-complex for a bike lock, driving the cost up with little or no security advantage.
I'll stick with the $60 hardened, double locking U-lock for now."

Tom Z replied to Ryan Anderson's discussion 'Storing a Bike at a Metra Station'"I was looking at the Tern brand. Also REI has a folding bike, which is made by Tern called the FlyBy.
