Bikeless in Chicago - Here until Feb 2

I am a photographer, DJ, but foremost a bicyclist.

I am in Chicago from Jan 3 to Feb 2 and I would like to soak up and document bicycle culture in the city.

I helped write the Cyclists' Bill of Rights - http://bikewriterscollective.com/ My last job was delivering food on my bicycle in Downtown LA. Before that I was shooting photos for a local newspaper and delivering the paper using a dutch cargo bike. I was paid by Bacardi to ride with 41 other people from NYC to LA 3 summers ago. I'm comfortable riding road bikes, track bikes, tall bikes, swing bikes, I just love bikes and most any bike community.

Originally I was supposed to stay in Wicker Park for the entire month, but my friend has to be in Nashville for family stuff (I found this out Jan 2).  Currently I'm crashing at a friends house in Old Irving, but I will probably be crashing in Logan Square next week.

If anyone has an extra bike that I can use for a ride, a week, the month, or whatever it would be greatly appreciated. I did bring a U-lock!

THANKS,

Mikey Wally

Any questions, feel free to ask! And somehow over craigslist last night I got put in charge of a event at a bar Jan 26 in Old Irving.  Bike party anyone?

Hey Mikey,

I found out my uncle is alive and relatively well at 94 years of age in North Hills CA and I think I should go visit... would probably want to time it to be able to ride LACM.  Do you know if there's a message board (to try to borrow a bike and such...)  Been searching and found some interesting stuff... apparently some LA police were donating helmets paid for out of pocket to cyclists under 18..... and apparently last September a rider died on the mass apparently due to lack of helmet....
