Where the hell do people mountain bike in Chicago? I know that you have hills and things in Milwaukee, but I can’t just spend an afternoon on an overpass, can I?

goodbye LA
You have a nice restaurant at the airport westin.

Bicycling in traffic is a dance you must lead
paris87: This is pretty spot on… I just wish the music didn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out.
If you’re nervous about riding in traffic this is good to see. The more you act like a proper road using vehicle, the more you will be treated like a proper road using vehicle.
missing evite
at the instigation of Jasmine, I’ll be having a girl’s night this weekend. I’ve posted it here (saturday night, chicago ladies, my house)… a status update on Facebook that I’ve lazily added people to. An email that I BCCed a lot of people on.
I miss the simple days of evite.
But in the simple days of evite, I had a lot less people who would just drop by cause I...

liarworthloving said: What about another sleepover 2.0?
there have been so many job and life changes, that I’m not sure we could get the band back together for a sleepover 2.0 again. It was quite the night, though.
jasmined asked: When are you going to host another evening of ladies sitting around and drinking wine? In my head, I've christened it The Drinking Wine Ladies Auxiliary. Our patron saint/heroine is Tami Taylor, obviously.

Dearest Man Who Just Called me a Pussy,
As I rode my bike down a semi-busy street today, i was thinking about work and friends and a little bit about making sure I didn’t get hit by any cars. In this situation, I am vulnerable. Traffic law (and common sense) stipulates that I ride my bike with…
up in the air
I’ve reached that point in the business trip, where my married colleagues go to their rooms and call their spouses and I come to my room and check twitter/tumblr/facebook/IM.
pro tip 2
Don’t leave your wallet on the plane.
pro tip
You can’t take a pedal wrench through airport security.
quaint airport sign
The one warning travelers that X-rays won’t damage film less than ISO 800.
Remember traveling with film? That was right around when we still traveled with dignity.
chores paralysis
big business trip in the very early morning and I’ve been sitting on my couch for two hours thinking through my to-do list, but not to-doing any of it.
Every time I yawn, my jaw sounds like a twig snapping in half, so I guess I’m kind of stressed out by the business trip.

I don't believe you, OKC guy...
Yes, my Myspace style profile pic is good, but it is not the sexiest nor most seductive photo on the whole site.

Please pass this on for a friend. She was hit by a car on her bike this morning. She’s OK, but didn’t get the license plate and is hoping there might have been a witness.
Thank you!!!
sucker poles
I’ve been trying to think of a solution to sucker poles… what if you filled a small, disposable cup with wet cement and duct taped it over the nut?
If it’s quick dry, some of it would at least dry and make it harder to remove.
okc
If an OKC message makes me cry, it’s probably because I need to eat lunch. I’ll talk politics after I’ve had some protein.

Two and a half days of city driving
My mom came to visit this weekend, which means she turns the keys of the HHR over to me and I drive us around town. Nothing like a weekend of driving in Chicago to remind me of how vigilant I must be as a cyclist and how the idiot cyclists really make it worse for the rest of us.
I avoided hitting Beautiful Godzillas on the hipster highway. BMXers on Broadway. A guy who must have lost his...

Oddly enough, the only blog of mine they’ve visited is my disabilities…

When I first saw on Twitter that Emanuel was sending his kids to private school, I assumed it was to a Jewish Day School.
