Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to Jeff Schneider's discussion 'Hipster Bomber Bike'"I'm pretty sure the part about the "stylish" bike was an attempt at humor."
Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to h' 1.0's discussion 'Salmoning poll'"The beauty of human language is that we can all use whatever term we want for anything. I am going to maintain that riding the wrong way down a one way street isn't salmoning.
There is plenty of room on most streets for bikes to travel in both…"
Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to h' 1.0's discussion 'YES!!!!!!! Free Monday "Downtown Sound" 2013 lineup announced'"I'm going. Daniel Lanois was awesome last night at the OTS. I'm also excited to see Brokeback. As far as I can tell, anything Doug McCombs is involved in is gonna be great.

Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to norman kaeseberg's discussion 'CDOT Chicago Bike Map Spring 2013... SUCKS!!!'"Also there is the chicken/egg problem. Tons of people ride on the south side, but compared to the north side far, far less of us do. Less riders results in less demand for or perception of the need for bike infrastructure. But I think the lack of…"
Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to Madeline's discussion 'Exciting New Chicago Cycling Box Service - Signed up for early bird special thought I'd share!'"I need a subscription to sunglasses. I can't see to keep a pair for more than a couple of months without either scratching up the lenses or losing them (or both).

Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to Sam Juicebox's discussion 'Commuting to the 'Burbs'"If you need to get over the Eisenhower a bit further west than Oak Park Ave there is a ped/bike only overpass over the Eisenhower at approximately Home Ave in Berwyn. It makes for a much nicer crossing of the expressway than Harlem.

Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to Jordan Snow's discussion 'Stolen Bike - IRO Jamie Roy'"Good points Dug. As a community we've made huge progress on the outside world, bike lanes, off road trails systems and getting traffic legislation passed, more riders on the roads etc. As Ron Burke noted at the Bike to Work Rally, if you'd…"
Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to Jordan Snow's discussion 'Stolen Bike - IRO Jamie Roy'"You might already know about it, but If This Then That (IFTT) can automate your craigslist searching. I've found that it works pretty well. https://ifttt.com/wtf

Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to Philip Bird's discussion 'Bobby Cann killed on Clybourn last night. Critical Mass Tribute?'"Good points, but I'm not sure your counter example is the best either. The case is three or four years older and involved a cop. I interpreted the news this morning as a good sign.

Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to h' 1.0's discussion 'Salmoning poll'"Riding the wrong way on a one way street isn't salmoning. The only reason those streets are designated as one way is because there isn't room for cars to travel in both directions. We should not be bound by rules designed to accomodate the…"

Tony Adams 7 mi (dirtbag hipstr) replied to in it to win it 8.0 mi's discussion 'I rode today. Did you?'"The rally was pretty good. Transportation Secretary Roy LaHood was there, and spoke, as well as the Mayor and Gabe Klein. It was nice to see Kathy Schubert (with dog!) get an award. It was cool to see the mayor riding around the plaza on a Divvy.…"

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

chixieonfixie said… - 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?
