I've plotted my top recommended bike routes starting at the south end of the Lakefront Trail in Chicago to make it easier to share some of my favorite routes! They all basically work in reverse, but I've also tried to include train connections at the ends. All have detailed notes. #bikechi

Skylark

It seems like it would be enough to just tump it over on its side?

Hi it's me your idiot friend who made plans that involve traversing most of the city multiple times during marathon weekend 🙃

Photo of a wide concrete pathway through parkland with some trees completely covered with people walking all over the place, oblivious to the fact that someone might want to pass them on a bicycle.

Same shot different day

Photo looking out over railroad tracks leading towards the tall buildings of the Chicago skyline under a mostly clear blue sky.

Knock on wood, this has never been an issue for me anywhere in the region around Chicago. It has been a scary problem for me a few times in and around Memphis.

Inspired by biking on Archer Avenue from 18th all the way to 48th. Makes your mortality much more palpable.

We gotta do it again with a group, and also probably not via Archer the whole way, lol

Not a question I have ever pondered before!

Amazing. "The group consisted of families with names such as Fortin, Dionne, Boudreau, Benoit, Nourie, Lafond, Lemna, and at least six Arseneau families."

Now I want a Tour de Illinois focused on very old French Catholic churches.

Haven't heard from this guy recently, wonder what he was up to in River North yesterday?
