Google Bike To Work Day, River North, Chicago
Today was the Google bike to work day. I used to bike to work all the time last year, but hadn’t done it yet this year. It made for a brutal ride. Not bad, just tiring. I realized how out of shape I am compared to last year when I did the 5+ mile ride often and also biked on the lakefront almost every weekend. Time to get back at it!
Also, sorry for how blown out this photo is. Someone …paulbaker!.. decided we should all stand in the sun and I couldn’t really do anythingwhen there were so many people to try to organize. I think even more biked, but not all were there at the appointed time for the photo opp.

Pfft! All our faces would have been too dark anyway if we hadn’t been in the sun.

paul baker - maybe
on my ride to work this guy came up really fast and passed me. he said something and it took a second to register. i thought it was going to be mean bc i was biking slow in the bike lane, but he yelled “NICE BIKE!!!”
on the way home, I was taking off from a stop light and a couple started to cross the street. the man said to the woman, “hey, that’s your bike!” she must have one just like mine. at another intersection a man cross in the cross walk said he liked my bike.
awesome. i like it when people compliment my bike. i love my bike.
