I was going to delay purchasing my new bike until after the weather cooled off a little, but then I heard that Bike the Drive is Sunday so I just had to suck it up and bike in this damn heat to pick it up.
Buying 2 swords and riding around Chicago to challenge anyone who parks in the bike lane to a duel.
The tacky 9/11 memorabilia has reminded me of the Trail of Tears rest stop I found in southern Illinois. bsky.app/profile/jay-...

Do drivers know what to do at these things? No. Would they do what they are supposed to do if they knew? Also no. Do the bikes and pedestrians crossing know how these are supposed to work? Also no. COMPLETE AND UTTER WASTE OF MONEY I HATE THESE THINGS SO MUCH.
There is a particularly dangerous pedestrian crossing on Columbus, between the Fairmont and the Lakeshore East Park that I am about to make my life mission to get fixed. I am almost hit there at least 2 times a week and the drivers are always going too fast.

I love living in Chicago. We should build more housing so more people can live in Chicago too.

I found a gap in the rain to walk the dogs, but honestly getting rained on is preferable to this terrible humidity.
I want congestion pricing so bad. If I have to be menaced by assholes every time I cross the street, I want to at least know that they paid for the privilege.
