"Last year when I was getting my new summer helmet, I went with the one without MIPS, because after searching for a few days, I couldn't find an explanation of what it was and why it was an extra $30 for that version of the helmet. Styrofoam and…"

David P. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Pothole Reporting"The system works well. I last reported one at 103rd and Cottage Grove and it was patched within no more than two days. "

I've seen some bad ones get much worse over the past few months. Theoretically, the more people that report them, the more likely they'll get fixed. Report them to the city here: https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cdot/provdrs/street/svcs/report_a_pot_holeinstreet.html…See More
Jaik S. replied to Vilda's discussion Think of this as a Missed Connection."Dear Navy Buick Sedan,
I know, you're in a car, you're special. So special. What makes you more special is you figured out that if you drive on the one way streets parallel to Logan Boulevard, you can go really fast and avoid all…"
Jaik S. replied to Steve Mac's discussion Correct me if I'm wrong ."I'm a Brompton owner and have traveled within the US three times with my Brompton. The last flight, PDX to ORD, I had my Brompton packed in an Ikea Dimpa bag with some coroplast padding cut out for each side. I neglected to take out my hinge…"
Jaik S. replied to Jim Reho's discussion Cars Are Ruining Our Cities"**One measly sedan, One overrated sports car.
Side note: With the warmer weather come the inexperienced riders. As much as I like to scoff and grumble, I'm going to try being nice and teaching. Drivers also are less inclined to pay attention…"
Jaik S. replied to mike w.'s discussion Advice/recommendations needed: tent & sleeping bag for bike touring."Another thing to consider is the season...If it's 80 degrees out, you may not want a sleeping bag. When I toured Hawaii, I only used a sleeping bag liner. At the time, mine was about $14. It packs down smaller than a can of beer. They make them…"
Jaik S. posted a discussionI entered a pizza contest...
Hello Everyone!Between bicycle rides, I've managed to make a pizza, and enter a pizza contest. Since I'm a little late to the game, I'd love if anyone could vote for my video, if you like it. If not that's cool too. The other contenders are some women throwing frozen pizza at their oven, a pizza with butternut squash and a minimalist pizza. I went all in and made my deep dish, hoping to win the popular vote.TL;DR: I made pizza to win tickets to the Chicago Pizza Summit and am begging for…See More
Jaik S. might attend 606 Cycles's eventGRAND OPENING RAFFLE at 5714 W. Belmont Ave.
March 24, 2018 all day
Thanks to everyone that has bought raffle tickets! While we've had a good turnout so far, we want to give more people a chance to get in on the raffle. We thought a good way to give more people a chance would be to add a food drive for canned goods which we will be donating to Christian Community Church on Wilson and Hamilton. All you have to do is bring in 1 canned good for 2 tickets or 2 cans for 5 tickets. The max amount of tickets we'll be able to give each person will be 25 tickets for the…See More
Jaik S. replied to Yasmeen's discussion Just Ordered a Brompton, Any Advice?"Congrats on your Brompton! Last year, I got one for me and one for the lady. Longest distance on them in a day so far is about 40 miles.
I'd highly recommend the Ortlieb/Brompton bag if you plan on doing anything aside from work stuff on it.…"
Jaik S. replied to Yasmeen's discussion What's this doing in the bike lane?"Also available in printed handouts! Leave them on the car or hand them to a driver!

Jaik S. replied to dav's discussion Bicycle's in Union Station???"The Clinton St entrances are handicap accessible, and easy to roll a bicycle through. It's the better option than the stairs. I don't think I've every actually went through other entrances...Maybe next time I'll check them out."
