"What's wrong with bar end shifters?  They're pretty simple, robust and can operate without indexing."

"I sometimes wonder if I should have gotten a Cross Check rather then the LHT but really it's just so comfortable and can handle a lot of shopping in addition to my commute. "

"Just stay consistent and there's rarely a problem.  On the sidewalks too many boarders weave around and cut people off.  It's the same when bikes on the street do this with cars or one another."

"Like I said, I didn't know the exact situation.  Yer spot on. "

"It's a good reason not to pass traffic on the right, even if you don't see a turn signal."

"Protected bike lanes were invented by Nazis, so protected bike lanes are bad."

"Reminds me of a joke I heard about a Scottish RSM and a condom."

"I went out of may this morning to go down Dearborn and look for signs to knock over and was disappointed.  On the other hand, most cyclists were following the traffic signals this morning so that was cool.  Even the ones on State Street…"

"Why not have Dearborn's bike lane run up to North Ave and the park?  When I use Dearborn that's the path I take if I don't want to deal with all the traffic along the lake."

"Hit one and sue the crap out of the place.  Seriously, that's easily a 311."
