Laura, 500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL

Laura rides a custom re-build mixte frame from Lugs

Sometimes I diligently write down someone's email, and then I just can't find it.  That is what happened with this young lady, but [hopefully] I remembered a few details correctly—  

#1 her bike is a custom rebuild from Lugs.  I'm convinced the folks over a lugs are as interested in people looking good on bikes as I am, so mad props!  I'll be hitting them up when I can throw down some cash for a custom rebuild. 
# 2. Her name was Laura and she was headed north.

Sorry for loosing your email Laura.  Please comment if you see this and have anything to add.

*** Side note: There is cause for celebration today— Chicago is getting a protected bike lane near my office!  I have been patiently watching the construction of the Dearborn protected bike lane and I'm excited to go for a test ride.  I'll be spending lunch here so come by and celebrate!
When: Friday, December 14 at 1:00 p.m.
Where: Printer’s Row Park, 700 S. Dearborn St.

My, 3600 Block of S Iron St, Chicago, IL

My rides a "no name" bike purchased off ebay to prevent bike theft.
So whats with the no name bike?  This is my 5th replacement bike since 2006, so I was hoping that thieves would bypass the no name, which they have.
Where are you going? Into the sunset.
Why ride? Because it's a great way to relive my youth over and over again.
Favorite ride? Flying down Green Bay Road en route to and from the Chicago Botanical Gardens.
While riding you …? Sing to myself. Song of choice, "The Benefits of Mr. Kite"
How can Chicago improve bike infrastructure or make Chicago more bike friendly? Awareness and mutual respect of all those commuting. Bike lanes are pretty key, especially bike lanes without double-parked cabs, pedestrians, and segways.

Anne, Wacker Ave, and Wabash Dr, Chicago, IL


I ran into Anne while she was biking from home to a Church service, and she said, "Why ever would you want to take my picture."   She had no idea how adorable she looked with her yellow bike.  I hope I'm still as spry as her when I'm older!
