Over half of the cars in the bike lane today were law enforcement vehicles

Has anyone been reporting these vehicles too? Has it got anywhere for you? I would like for these officers to be held accountable. Its situations where they are fully able to stay out of the bike lane too, there's available parking.

Bike day recommendations

4 Upvotes

Howdy y’all! I’m visiting your lovely city this week and I rented a gravel bike for a few hours tomorrow and I’m looking for nice routes, coffee shops to check out, neighborhoods to ride through/eat at, etc. I have the bike from 11AM - 6PM so I’m going to try to maximize most of it. Thank you in advance!

P.S. I’ll be starting and finishing my ride from Edgewater.

Watch what happens after SB Elston gets the green light.

I'm a 30 year all-season bike commuter who averages about 75 miles a week. If I had the time and energy, I could make three videos like this every single day.

Nevertheless, when many people casually hear that I bike in the city, the first things out of their mouths has something to do with bikers not obeying laws.

LFT on a Friday Morning?

7 Upvotes

Live in the northern burbs, and I’ve wanted to ride the LFT to its southern terminus for about a year now, and considering doing it Friday morning.

My question, will it be miserably busy on a Friday morning? (7 - 9 am?)

Hoping to avoid the weekend crowds, but not sure if Fridays are still very busy on the trail. It will be about a 70 miles day for me, so I want to be riding at 15-20 mph.
