"Why is Chicago building protected bike lanes? Nobody rides in them 6 months a year when it's cold here."

Here's what we saw in the downtown Dearborn Street PBLs during a 4-minute bike ride on Wednesday 12/10 around 4 PM (not peak rush hour), when it was about 32F.

In order to "protect women" Texas made it so that women have to go through armed guards with an ID check. They literally created a potty police.

Got my bike fitted yesterday because of ongoing knee problems, and we raised the saddle like 4 cm! It made a big difference even on the ride home.

The snow finally receded enough that I could bike to get groceries. Still too nervous to ride at night though lest I not see a patch of ice. Maybe 28 degrees? I bundled up in a down Uniqlo puffer and a big wool sweater. And good gloves! Those make all the difference.

Here at I Biked in This HQ we don’t have the tires to bike in snow, so posting may be a little lighter for a while!

30 degrees—a good day to wear the hand-knit sweater I got in Ireland last year and leg warmers. Scarf is from Ireland too. Vintage Fendi 365 coat. Knit cap from Walgreens.

“The US isn’t Europe!” Anti-bike people always seem to think that bike-friendly cities just somehow naturally evolved.

Having some knee pain. Went to the chiropractor and told him I got a new bike with lower handlebars. He noted that I was "sitting more aggressively" and now I'm going to make sure I'm always sitting as aggressively as possible.

It’s never too late to start riding a bike!

We have a pair here in Chicago sitting on Montrose pier this week. The last two days they've had a pair of Peregrines fly in to dispute territory with them at 10am.

Riding on California through Logan Square is awful at rush hour and even worse on Friday. Almost hit by some dick stuck in the intersection at Fullerton when I went through.

The ultimate "I biked in this"
Congrats to Jessika & Bryce, who rode off from their wedding into the distance on a CargoB last month! We love that we could be a small part of their big day!

Day started out sunny but ended up kinda gray! No matter—creating a new outfit and getting on the bike always makes me happy.

Love seeing how many people are riding with their kids these days!

Love it when a car is parked in the bike lane AND the driver almost doors me.
