Going out to Elmhurst - best streets to take?
4 Replies

Okay, so I have this wild idea to ride my cargo bike all the way out to McMaster Carr to pick up some stuff, rather than driving. I mapped it out on Google using the bike directions from my place and…Continue

LFP riders - show some courtesy, respect, and please, please, PLEASE show some COMMON SENSE!

I started writing a reply to the thread about the cyclist injured on the LFP after the last CCM ride. I realized a paragraph in that I was composing something that probably deserved it's own thread.…Continue

Pair of Continental Ultra Sport 700x23c wire bead tires (new)
3 Replies

These tires came on some rims I bought and I have absolutely no use for them. It looks like they typically sell for about $25. They can be yours for a whopping $25 for the pair. I can meet you…Continue

Are there any free cycling smartphone apps?
20 Replies

Until a few days ago, I'd refused to join the ranks of smartphone users. I had no need for a smartphone before, and it will likely see limited use still, mainly because I can't afford high gb data…Continue

"I agree, Diversey is good.   If you want a queiter street then Wrightwood (starting at the end of Logan Square) is credited."

Going out to Elmhurst - best streets to take?

Okay, so I have this wild idea to ride my cargo bike all the way out to McMaster Carr to pick up some stuff, rather than driving. I mapped it out on Google using the bike directions from my place and made a few modifications. A significant portion of the ride, probably 1/4 of it would be on Armitage by the zoo to as far west as Laramie. I've ridden Armitage some before going to Smart Bike Parts, but I don't really like it that much. A few times that I've ridden out that way I've cut south onto…See More

"I used to ride the southern LFP with a group of racers. That would have been the early 1990s. We only did that ride in the dead of winter, early in the a.m., on MTBs. For those who do not remember the south lakefront in the 70s and 80s had been a…"

"+1.  If you want to get out and do a training ride along the whole of LFP, do it in the mornings.  Otherwise, don't try to hammer the pedals anywhere north of navy pier, and most likely north of the aquarium.  I see too…"

"I commute on the LFP daily. I am on the path at 6 am and it is usually pretty clear for me to hammer as hard as I wish. On the way home it is way too crowded, so I view my commute home as a casual ride. Put the bike in the little ring, trying to see…"

I'm totally down with that pace for the 23rd.  You from the North side?  Want to hook up for a ride before hand?
