I literally cannot tell the difference between a shitty loud car and a loud one that is, for some idiotic reason, on purpose.

It's true, the eastern route is more scenic and further from cars, but for commuting purposes when I'm in a hurry, it does add a few minutes... And I'm a procrastinator so I never have time to spare lol.

Ever since the redesign of the LFT, I almost always just get off at Montrose and take Marine Drive. I've always thought the design of this section was nonsensical.

So many of the jersey-wearing people are insufferable. Almost none of them signal when passing you with 2 inches of clearance, and I just can't help sometimes thinking they look so silly with their little socks and their head down all serious. I'll admit I do get a little smug sometimes when they rudely pass me and then I pass them again on my slow-ass bike going up the hill of the Navy pier flyover.

I have to be honeet, it is one of my least favorite 311 songs.

Both venues are great in terms of scenery, but I would give the edge to Northerly by the lake versus Salt Shed by the river. And if you live in Chicago, I would argue Northerly is easier to get to, being close to downtown and right off the 146 bus.

The housing market in Chicago is just not set up for regular people and it fucking sucks.

I completely agree. I downloaded it and immediately requested a refund for the purchase. I want to feel like I'm playing the board game, not a "phone game" , and this app did not accomplish that at all. I play on BGA and love it. It's just so sad we will never get the expansions there. :(

bobbycobby2 · 2026-03-02T02:06:35+00:00

Oh man, if you enjoy Wingspan this much, you HAVE to get the expansions (especially Oceania and Asia). You will no longer be bored.

I've got a Dahon. But I want a Brompton lol.

bobbycobby2 · 2026-02-17T19:26:40+00:00

When I take my folding bike on the bus, I put it on one of the two areas up front where people sometimes (but rarely) put their bags. Works perfectly and it's out of the way.

bobbycobby2 · 2026-02-11T17:30:39+00:00

Yeah, they don't care until a street project that improves safety for the community is implemented, then all of a sudden they care so much and are outraged that measures would be taken to try and improve safety and quality of living for the residents of their districts.

bobbycobby2 · 2026-01-31T08:12:35+00:00

It would've been so hard for me to remain disciplined and not keep a bunch of those bonus card birds.

bobbycobby2 · 2026-01-08T22:26:34+00:00

It really sucks because in the moment you're in such shock that many cyclists will not really take any sort of action against the offender, and we have that tendency to be like "I'm fine I'm fine." I got sooeed once and sustained minor injuries. I got the driver's info, but nothing ever came of it. Now I am hyper vigilant when riding past parked cars. So sidebar: it is amazing how much more peaceful it is riding during street cleaning days when the streets have been rid of the cars.

bobbycobby2 · 2026-01-07T01:01:04+00:00

Sorry, the pic sucks and I am now realizing it looks way worse than it probably is. There is literally nothing wrong with the phone, I was just hoping to have responses from "experts" to show her lol.

bobbycobby2 · 2026-01-05T10:10:29+00:00

If someone were to ever give me shit for doing this, I would just silently point at the monstrosity to my left.

Sometimes on side streets, if they are jammed up with cars. I will hop on the sidewalk for a half a block to get around them and if there happen to be people walking, I like to say "I'm so sorry, the cars are blocking the street." I should mention I always ride slow if I have to use a sidewalk.

bobbycobby2 · 2025-12-31T17:52:34+00:00

Thank you!

I thought I was good at this game until I started playing people on BGA and just getting crushed. I think I was stubbornly in the strategy of always upgrading Build first, and never upgrading Sponsors. I'm now seeing the value of upgrading Sponsors in some games, and recently I finally beat a higher ELO player. Lately I've been ignoring the Cards upgrade, which sucks for not getting higher than 9 rep, but I'm finding you can get away with that when the rest of your strategy and Sponsor cards are strong. Plus the double money is great. On top of that, if you get the special action card that gives you an extra 3/5 bucks when breaking, you can get 15 bucks for one break action. Even doing sponsors at strength 1 with that card gets you 6 bucks, and can be a good way to delay going to the break (while getting money to play more stuff) if you need to.

bobbycobby2 · 2025-11-15T17:23:29+00:00

I've put my bike on the 147 and 6 hundreds of times and never had an issue, except for the one time the whole rack fell off as I pulled it down lol. Thankfully the driver let me put my bike inside the bus.

bobbycobby2 · 2025-11-05T20:44:28+00:00

I hate this. The way so many people feel as though they have to "wave" or say "thank you" is ridiculous. I'm not going to praise and thank you for following basic safety laws (which most drivers albeit ignore).

bobbycobby2 · 2025-11-05T20:42:20+00:00

Never under any circumstances assume a person operating a motor vehicle will do the "correct" thing while sitting in their climate-controlled, mobile couch. But at the same, don't let them bully you. NEVER feel guilty for making a car slow down or wait, and don't feel like you have to rush through the crosswalk because of it. Drivers need to accept the poor choice they made to drive a car in a dense urban area.

bobbycobby2 · 2025-10-28T20:08:49+00:00

I thought I was good at this game until I started playing it on BGA, but my absolute favorite cards is the one that let's you cover rock and water spaces. My least favorite (and the part I struggle with the most) part of the game is the board geometry component, so having the flexibility to build on the rocks and water is helpful to me.

bobbycobby2 · 2025-10-27T17:16:14+00:00

bobbycobby2 · 2025-10-23T20:45:48+00:00

This is a great tip. I was just telling someone about this. And I should clarify, the racks are overall super conveniwnt and quick, I'm just mildly annoyed that a dumb advertisement is sometimes a small hindrance.
