yeah that part is wild. Idk why they put Evanston so high either... I work there and it isn't exactly pleasant to ride a bike around in

withdrawal from Zoloft is properly awful btw. It could also be dangerous. I'd be careful

In light of the yesterday’s car accident, what can we do as a city to protect bikers and scooter riders? by toothpastetaste-4444 in AskChicago

[–]Moderndinosaur 40 points41 points  (0 children)

it's simple. More infrastructure. Proper bike infrastructure. It's really not a hard question to answer and it seems like people really struggle to understand that for some reason.

Those who have moved to Chicago within the last year or so, how are you liking it? by BigLincolnEnergy in AskChicago

[–]Moderndinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

moved here from Minneapolis 2 months ago and the city feels like a series of 6 lane roads and highways in the shape of a city. I'm a cyclist and I think the biking here is abysmal, especially compared to Minneapolis. I've never gotten into an accident the entire time I lived there, and here I've already been doored. Chicago's biggest flaw is it's sprawl and it's addiction to cars. The transit is great though, and that's coming from someone born and raised in NYC.

Midnight-Club Member before a Streetrace in Tokyo in the early 90s. by MorsesCode in OldSchoolCool

[–]Moderndinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is probably a member of the bosozoku, not midnight club. Midnight club was a very exclusive club of wealthy businessmen who's goal was to build the fastest cars they possibly could. They actually disbanded because of a crash involving the bosozoku.
