I saw a guy riding on Dearborn the other day with a camera around his neck, taking pictures. Gene, was that you?

I take State, not Dearborn, between North and Erie. I ride a recumbent trike with red flags all over two poles. If this fits the bill, 'twas me. Otherwise, impostors are on the loose.

Definitely not you, then! I did see a recumbent heading north this morning on the LFT, though.

Red wheels, too, if I remember.

... and a flamingo.

I rode in to MCC from Naperville again. Saw the same huge peloton of riders in Hinsdale as last Friday, heading west on Chicago Ave - this was at 6:10AM. I estimate there were as many as fifty riders or more in this group.
Anyone have any information about that large group ride?

Looking forward to a nice tailwind on the way home.

thats so awesome.  We should start a thread for funny conversations with non cyclists or conversations with non cyclists that make us smile. Or do we have one?

Amazing ride to work this morning. Doubly so because of the following:

(Stop light at Madison and Dearborn)
Police SUV: Excuse me young lady, your brake light is out *big grin*
Me: Sorry officer, as soon as they start making them I’ll get one! *laugh*
Cop: Have a good Friday!
Me: Happy Friday to you too!
Oldsmobile: That guy is having way too much fun at his job. *smile*
Me: It’s Friday, everyone has a better day at work on Friday.
Oldsmobile: You have a good Friday!
Me: Happy Friday to you too. Have a great day!
(light changes)

Completely renewed my faith in humanity. Happy Friday everyone.

I ride every day.  Usually 15 miles.  Yesterday I did 18.8  Halstead and Randolph, to the lake front, up to belmont harbor, and back.  Good ride.  LFP was pretty empty around 3pm.
