@ryleywalker Go ask Dan Bejar if he ever got a C- on a spelling quiz

My son just asked for $5 to subscribe to pitchfork media. I told him to go door to door and ask to shovel the fucking neighbors driveways. This is character building. He will be an entrepreneur one day.

An Edgewater intersection is getting Chicago’s first pedestrian-activated stop light. buff.ly/u4YFIN5

@josiahhughes @ryleywalker

I think the velvet underground were basically the best band ever. music so perfect it's hard to believe it exists. that being said, i've never heard a good solo cale song......... sorry cale heads.

I didn’t know stuff like this was happening at one of my favorite places to get an old fashioned…

We didn’t get the result we wanted, but I’m so proud of what we were able to accomplish. We started a real conversation around traffic safety in our city & today’s vote will not impede my efforts to make our streets safer for everyone driving, walking, biking, or rolling on them.

Chicago on 35mm

I love it when #Chicago looks brooding and beautifully ominous.

Congrats to the new owners!

@MilwaukeeAvBike @AldermanLaSpata Maybe just like a 3 ft ramp in front of it?

Any bikechi friends want 4 free tickets to the cubs game tomorrow? Just follow us and like this post and we’ll pick a random winner to give them to! We’ll pick a winner at 10pm tonight.

@ryleywalker Pretty sure I’ve literally done this in the past 2-3 years

@AJManaseer Those are real issues no doubt. I appreciate you raising them. Is there anything short of removing the lanes that you would be ok with?

1. Driving lanes cut down by a foot on each side 2. No intersectional daylighting 3. No space for emergency vehicles to pass by 4. Harder for delivery workers to do their job 5. More congestion (especially during pickup and dropoff for the 2 schools between Ashland and Milwaukee) 6. Useless

The Augusta Bike Lane in its natural state… (totally unused). I saw one guy use it last week. Since then, zero. And this is all in peak cycling weather. Imagine during the rest of year. I invite any of Chicago’s leading bike advocates to come sit with me there for an hour and if more than 3% of passersby are on bikes, I will donate $1000 to the charity of their choice and admit I was wrong. If not, you tweet a retraction admitting I was right that this lane is an underutilized white elephant (not to mention poorly designed and dangerous). 3% on a nice summer day, for one of the northside’s main bike arteries. Should be easy, right? @cornoisseur @mollyfleck @jasonshah @aschweng93 @MilwaukeeAvBike @johnxkenny

@312fietser Wow how many bikes can you fit in more or less one parking space

I wish this was the default bike parking in Chicago for places other than curbside ice cream.
