Articles by Ernesto Lube
City riding
I think everyone should go back and take another look at Ernesto's video, 'crashing without style'. 'E', you should've sued the idiot ped, (don't walk red light), who caused your concussion and dislocated knee after you putting down your bike to sacrifice yourself in order to save the idiot peds' arse! If you weren't half out from being concussed you should have chased him down . . . GEEZ! . . .
Riding Songs... Chime in!
Of course, it's a speaker or only in one ear. Let's not devolve into a debate on how we listen to tunes, k? Ok, that said. I have a "cadence mix" I used to use when I did training rides. What music makes you happy when you ride? I'll throw a few out there - I like listening to ELO e.g. "Turn to Stone", "Livin' Thing", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Mr. Blue Sky" Tags: Share Tweet Facebook Facebook Views: 388 ▶ Reply to This
Best bike shoe selection in Chicago?
I'm hoping to buy some bike shoes (spd) at a local shop in Chicago vs. an online merchant. Any thoughts on which shop has a nice wide selection of bike shoes...if such a place exists? Tags: Share Tweet Facebook Facebook Views: 30 ▶ Reply to This

Randomness from yesterday/this morning. Watch with subtitles. Don't walk on the bike lane. https://youtu.be/nZLrj6bbT3M

March Bad-Weather Case of Crabcakes
I'm all kinds of crabby. Tired of being cold. Tired of not being able to feel my face. And desperate for some sunshine. Things that have added to my mood? 1. Able-bodied pedestrians hogging the elevator (I am required to use w a bike) when I JUST missed it (making me wait 5 more minutes in the cold) and no one moved to reopen the doors. After I wished I had yelled, "You are all going to HELL!" but alas, that's a little too mean for me. 2.

What's this doing in the bike lane?
Share your pics, videos, streets, stories of what you find in the bike lane of the non-bike variety that has an impact on your ride and/or your safety. I've decided to keep it a little more open ended - cars, snow, buses, garbage, cabs, etc. If they shouldn't be in the bike lane, go ahead and add it to this thread.

"Say something"/"On your left" righteousness
Please don't tell me to "say something" or admonish me for not saying "on your left" when I'm passing you with 5+ feet clearance in the car lane, especially if you're riding dead center of the bike lane. Yes I'll say something if I'd like you to move over a tad, I'm passing you in the bike lane, or it'll be a closer pass. As far as I'm concerned, I'm doing something 50+ cars have already done to you on your ride, only slower and with more space.

Chainlink's first Russian bot!
Had a Russian bot try to be a Chainlinker. We get a lot of spam entries so I do my best to weed them out. Lots from Africa. This is our first Russian tho. Tags: Share Tweet Facebook Facebook Views: 101 ▶ Reply to This

Ha ha Tom! I've become attached to that little Smurf mascot. I LIKE to see him appear! Where is he Yasmeen? I capitalize words for EMPHASIS. It's not shouting. Some others use *this* for emphasis. Some others use this. But that's weak. Capitals break up long posts...and I tend to put up long posts. And they attract the eye to my main points. In my post above, there were two points I wanted to make.
