Super-Fly Plans for the Weekend?

I know what I’ll be doing.  As for me, I’ll be pregaming like this. “How ’bout that thirst? What’s your pleasure?” Then I’ll be busting it at a party like this. Probably representing with the little lady like the folks jumping on the scene at 0:53. But that’s Friday night. Saturday will involve the Chiditarod. [...]

Chicago Artist Paints Nude Politicians for Fun, Wife’s Bar

I guess I’ll have to hit up Old Town Ale House to check out the Sarah Palin Nudie, among others.  After reading some articles, reviews, and hitting a few other websites I’m expecting this place to be a pretty great dive.  Perhaps I’ll add it to this summer’s Beer Bar Bicycle Tour (more on that [...]

Wounded Soldier

I can only imagine how long this poor boy’s abuse and neglect has persisted. Possibly one theft of a wheel, then another…soon the seat, handlebars, gears, and pedals were gone. Dismemberment is one thing, but some sicko took time – felt joy – in twisting his fork, leaving a mangled,  desperate scene.  A moment of [...]

Chicago Marathon – 2008

By: L. Jerome: 26.2 is 26 too long This was my third viewing of the Chicago Marathon and once again there was a strange weather shift around the particular weekend. Three years ago I was freezing in a jacket, hat, and gloves. Two years ago it was 95+ degrees 90% humidity, thousands of runners were [...]

Chicago Critical Mass – September

By: L. Jerome: A good ride, except for the meatheads… Yet another Critical Mass came and went and a good time was had by all; all except of course for the few that chose to pick fights. Once a month, as thousands of cyclists join together for a fun month-end ride, a few motorists get [...]

Midnight Marauders – September – Back to School Ride

By: L. Jerome: Safety in numbers Long time no see, ATS. After myth busting the “Macs don’t have problems” propaganda for a couple of weeks, my lap warmer is back and my pocket is 105 bucks lighter. Events have been backing up in my digital camera and it’s about time I touched on a few [...]

The Ride Recap

By Joe Steve: back on two feetIt felt kinda strange getting in my car and driving to work this morning since for 3 straight days it felt like I had a bike strapped to my feet at all times. Since Chicago is bike friendly and pretty easy to navigate quickly and swiftly on a bike, [...]
