"Yes - glad to hear it wasn't worse. Large bruises like that can get more interesting looking over time. Keep us posted!"

"Yeah - those bikes sound great. I am your size and weight and my advice is to get one of those bikes, but also keep the beater! A beater as a spare bike is a better commuter than the CTA when your Space Horse or Cross Check is in the shop or has…"

"I would trust my tape measure over some random guy on the internet! I said it was incorrect because the head tube looks way too small for a 22". But I'm just looking at the picture."

"In this case 18th Street has "protected" bike lanes. There are Yield to Bikes signs and such making it pretty clear that the expectation is that bikes have the right of way. "

"Sure. Ban valet parking. It should be viewed as a relic of the failed car-centric transportation era. "

Tony Adams 6.6 mi replied to Alex Z's discussion 'Weird sign in the Dearborn PBL'
"This is a great outcome. Yay! When this thread arrived I thought it might be about the bike signal triggering sign at the southern terminus of the Dearborn PBL. Does that actually work? And if so, where is one supposed to be to trigger it?"

Tony Adams 6.6 mi replied to Alex Z's discussion 'Weird sign in the Dearborn PBL'
"I didn't necessarily mean subsidized monetarily. It is subsidized in that we are all expected to cooperate with the interference they cause on the streets, to tolerate the valet drivers hurriedly driving to where-ever they do park, and to give…"

Tony Adams 6.6 mi replied to Alex Z's discussion 'Weird sign in the Dearborn PBL'
"What is the purpose of valet parking anyway? Its sole purpose is to isolate drivers from one of the inconveniences of driving (parking and walking more than 20 feet from a parking space/lot). Its effect is to make driving a more palatable option for…"

"The thinking is, that the back wheel is a lot more trouble to remove therefore why bother locking it. But it is also a LOT more expensive to replace. We should all be in the habit of securing both wheels and the frame. In a pinch, at least with…"

Thanks for your interest, Tony, and your offer.  When I get info on how to set up a presentation (Paul, I guess), i'll be happy to have your help.  You are my friend, too once I figure out how to do that. Peg

Oh, very cool, thanks for the link. Ive heard mythical folklore about 'the guy who designed the Paramount' from Chicago but did not realize the shop was still in business. I will definitely have to drop in. So is your bike a Schwinn then? I am a bit disappointed its not Nasty's Cycles but the real story is very good in its own right.

Does that say 'Nasty's Cycle' or 'Hasty's Cycle' on your icon pic? Or none of the above?

Thanks,
Ethan
