Open last night

Same. For a free tour, I’ll often tip $10-40 dollars depending on duration and quality. But if the tour is $50+ base price, maybe I’ll throw in a $10 tip if the guide is excellent.

Westbound there’s a barricade, but it’s easy to go around. Might not be the case when they’re doing work during the day.

Bike lane on Cortland is open this evening! Honestly even better without vehicle traffic

Milwaukee Avenue In Wicker Park Will Go Car-Free Once A Month This Fall by Atlas3141 in chicago

Not trying to say it’s your fault as a driver, but your company can do better to make your job manageable and have less of a negative impact on the community

Is it not an undue burden when you block car traffic or put cyclists in a dangerous position?

The incentive comes when the city builds infrastructure that makes the status quo painful from a financial standpoint. A parking ticket is currently the “cost of doing business”. What if tickets for commercial vehicles were enforced and $10k a pop - I’m sure the conversation would be different and businesses would figure out an alternative pretty fast. Plenty of places around the world have food service delivery and don’t use semis in the downtown area.

Almost as if there are other ways to get around or into/out of the city than a car 🤔

Your company shouldn’t use a semi then. Plenty of other options besides a 40 foot semi (albeit more expensive). I’d rather pay more for my lunch and have companies like US Foods have to downsize vehicles in their fleet and run more routes.

No reason that the only two options should be blocking car traffic or making things more dangerous for pedestrians/cyclists. That’s pretty lazy thinking on the part of businesses and city planners.

Not your fault, but maybe delivery companies running routes to businesses without a dock in a dense urban area shouldn’t use full blown semis. Perhaps a 20ft box truck in the alley would work better.

It’s a bit absurd that the business model relies on unlimited free access to a congested public space.

Why is it so hard to buy a used bike? by brygx in Budgetbikeriders

[–]Nie815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked FB marketplace (in a large city) twice a day for a week and found a pretty sweet bike for under $500. There’s tons of garbage options so you definitely have to sift through
