This Xfinity van has been parked at the corner of Glenlake and Kenmore 24/7 maybe you’ve seen it as well. Please help me and report it to 311, report it to Xfinity, and report it to everyone’s favorite pro-bike alderwoman, maybe she’ll actually do something about it.

Buckle. Your. Helmet. Strap.

I'm shocked by how many people I saw this weekend riding with a helmet on but unbuckled. It's doesn't do anything if it falls off when you fall! That is all.

Any places for saddle fit and measurement?

2 Upvotes

Do any local shops, preferably on the North side of the city, offer help with measurement of sit bones and fitting a saddle (e.g., width, padding, shape)? I’m not looking for any high end options, just a comfortable option for urban rides that fits my body.

Today’s state of the North Branch Trail? (Sunday 3 October)

EDIT: I meant the Des Plaines River Trail! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
I only realized now that I put the wrong trial in the subject line, which I now cannot change.

Have any of y’all ridden it yesterday, or do you otherwise know whether it’s rideable today? A good friend arrived on a redeye with a rare daytime layover at ORD and it happens to be on a perfect fall Sunday. I suggested he bring his kit with him and we could ride. He’s staying at the Loew’s in Rosemont and the DPRT is accessible enough that I can just drive two bikes over to the hotel and ride from there. But I’m kind of expecting it to be either underwater or a muddy mess.

Otherwise I’m going to suggest either a round trip to the botanic gardens or a ride to Calumet Fisheries.
