Sometimes it's better not to know, but if anyone likes to look at wind forecasts:

Lol. So after yesterday's terrible rides. I started off feeling really beat. Walked the bike over Damen at 18th on my way to western and noted my rear brake pad is shoved a kilter and my rear tire is really light on air. So, I'm dang lucky no snakebite or popped tire/tube. Lesson learned. If your ride feels really hard before blaming weather and age check gear?

I guess there are some situations where my mighty smartphone camera doesn't work well, but still, these views were pretty cool this morning. You'll have to use your imagination. :-)

Moon rise:

City waking up:

Here's Oak Street curve yesterday morning, for good measure. It was completely dry Sunday morning.

Skip,

That was a pretty amazing view of the moon this morning if I must say so.   I tried to capture a shot from Gillson Park in Wilmette around 6am and got this.   It doesn't really capture how awesome it looked in person though ;-).

Indeed. Personally, I think we just need more powerful flash equipment. :-)

Having experienced the awfulness that is the construction-delayed Red Line yesterday I'm getting myself up and out early enough to bike to work.

On the first day of Spring, I rode in on Milwaukee from Elston with a fellow in a suit and a trench coat on a bakfiets from JC Lind and a couple on a cherry red tandem along with the crowd of usual suspects.  Still has me smiling even though I left my phone, my building ID, and my office keys at home.

It is wet out there. Good for you - toughing it out. Any chance you can get everything nice and dry for the ride home?

I love the blue of the water. Can't wait until it's warm and sunny. :-)
