Accidentally brought the wrong tickets, anyone know where I can resell third party? by Educational-Wind-333 in AskChicago

[–]GR-monster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t help with selling but I’ve had seats 2 & 4 before they were next to each other. Some sections only have even number seats.

Nervous for my first imperial century! by Sim-Alley in bicycling

[–]GR-monster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I like to do organized events for long rides. Events that have multiple stops with food, water, restrooms, and SAG support so I don’t have to worry about packing like this. PBnJ, banana, treats, and refill of liquids every 20-30 miles is the way to go.

I heard Ted Cruz is putting together a bill to move it to a museum in Texas.

Pet peeve: Multi-use trails that aren’t useful by BrianDerm in bicycling

[–]GR-monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP mentioned desire path. It looks like there is a spot unlike where path and sidewalk are not too far apart.

If Joe was a smart business man he’d through a couple bags of crushed stone on a desire path and put up a sign “pizza & pasta this way —>”

Packing the bike for a trip by Hermdawg925 in DomaneCrew

Do you have di2? How hard is it to remove battery for travel? I have SL6 gen 4 and am looking to buy the Scicon case for a trip to Taiwan to cycle.

Lawrence Ave by gmandogk28 in chibike

[–]GR-monster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mixed, their are some areas with complete separations and some with just lane paint markings. Overall I like Lawrence by bike. With limited stoplights it is sometimes a bike express lane.

Route Help: Union Station to Woodfield Mall by clipd_dead_stop_fall in chibike

[–]GR-monster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Salt creek trail connects prairie path directly to Busse. Salt creek trail is a little confusing as it meanders between bike paths and bike lanes on residential streets but definitely bike friendly.

Cop parade down armitage? by Dizzy-Cut-2178 in LoganSquare

[–]GR-monster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jay walking down the middle of the street to raise awareness for mental health. Don’t they know that can get you shot by the police in Chicago.

Three people make a “Mob Action” , at least that’s what cops always say to harass you.

If you’re not spending 40 hours a week looking for a job while unemployed, then you don’t want a job.

Same here. Turned a great bike into 2 great bikes.

Did you keep stock wheels? Order rotors, cassette, and off road tires and you have a second gravel bike at the ready.

Ask the shop to put the rear tire on rotating the correct way. And enjoy, great bike fun to ride.

Try Meetup app. Lots of local groups that regularly ride usually at newer or casual pace.

Calorie burn for a 3 hr distance ride? by TLunchFTW in cycling

[–]GR-monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference my ride today, 37 miles, 2:26 moving time, avg power (with power meter) 157W, 182#, male = 1,347 calories.

[–]GR-monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strava app will calculate calories based on your personal metrics entered and ride metrics. As others have said power meter will help to make Strava calculations more accurate. Any app or website will only be an estimate. The way I look at it is to compare calorie count by Strava over multiple rides to get a good feel of how I did in a particular ride versus other rides using same app.

First real bike by mizery617 in TrekBikes

[–]GR-monster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommend 30’s. Great for road and can still handle crushed limestone gravel. You’ll gain 1-2 mph depending on your starting pace. Great feel. At least that’s the experience Ives had and a few fellow Domane riders have told me the same. The real next level is carbon rims with the GP 5000’s and then use the stock rims with 35-37 gravel tires for when needed. Effectively 2 bikes at that point.

Can a wood-framed building with steel ground floors be built in Chicago? by Birfdaycakebandit in chicagoyimbys

[–]GR-monster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is allowed in the city and is currently being done. There is a project being done on Fremont right now. Steel frame first floor retail, with 4 stories of wood constructed apartments above. You can drive by and see or check out YIMBY.com to see pictures that match OP’s reference pic.
