Took it out of the shelter the other day and went out to some nearby dirt roads and forest paths. Good fun (although the chain tends to drop and brakes are weak).

My god I am in bad shape. I hope by the end of the summer I feel a bit less awful after a bike ride. Cycling is probably the only type of exercise that I can tolerate.

It's weird that these days you can't find a simple steel frame rigid cheapo mountain bike new anymore. It wasn't like this in the 90s.

I rode a bike for two years across LA. I loved it. Of course, people in LA aren't bike friendly, and so I had too much shit happen. I gave it up and strictly c-walk to the bus or train now..

Ride your bike on the pavement and you'll get to taste some of this!

Tonight while walking to train:

Stupid bike bell goes off behind me. I turn around and the girl gives me a polite "please watch out" sort of smile. I don't. Make the bitch ride around me. Bikes are cool. Bikes on sidewalks are for pussies and children.

I'm on the riverfront paths 95% of the time, in the street 2% and on the sidewalk 3%. Been bike commuting for over 10 years, no collisions yet with peds or cars!

The issue isn't whether or not a collision takes place. The issue is pedestrians shouldn't be expected to look out for bikes in an area that is not intended for bikes.

I'm real considerate of sidewalk sharing, generally peds are not aware that the sidewalks are LEGALLY bike routes, and don't act accordingly. So, I give them lots and lots of room and pass slowly and ask respectfully to get by. Works great so far.

If I'm not mistaken, the sidewalks in Chicago aren't legal bike routes. I could be wrong...

the trolley tracks got him!

When I was in NYC a few years ago me and my friends saw a bike messenger eat it hard, slamming directly into the rear of a delivery van that had itself slammed on it's brakes. Insane. Fucker went flying.

seemed like a deathwish to me, knowing how NYC cabbies haul ass.

I got myself a bicycle and naturally I'm super excited. The first thing I've noticed though is how some people can get aggressive if you're cycling on the pavement before you try chaining it up somewhere outside a shop. Some idiot tried to pick up a fight with me just for riding past him, which is weird because it seldom happens if I'm just walking.

the idiot was partially right. riding on the sidewalk is for 5 year olds, and you're a grown man, which means you can run someone over on your 2-wheel steel contraption. which is not the same as walking.

Seriously? Thanks for the advice mum!

ps: Why do you not try opening some shelter for the hopeless and guideless after you finish eating your amazing meals, instead of wasting all this good advice on the internet? You seem to love giving plenty of it to people who should better themselves and become more like you.

the best gang image is that of people riding bikes together.
there is an obvious harmony, a speed that you can relate your own breathing to and most of all, it looks like they are protecting eachother.

most cities are hostile to bicycle riders.
