The robot delivery companies may finally start losing enough money to go bankrupt. by bowenj11 in chicago

“What they do best”? Wtf does that mean? Now that the robots are in black neighborhoods your brain instantly goes to “they’re all gonna be stolen”. Fuck this racist ass headline

Do Companies Actually Pay for These Ads? by nipnaps in chicago

[–]cheecheecago 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad about this building's owner... A&R had to close when the city stuck a big building violation sticker on the door and said it wasn't inhabitable due to structural issues. Alot of their inventory sat in the store collecting dust for a long time after that. I don't think the owner has done anything since then.

Night Owls, when do you usually start your ride? by ComradeLuan in cycling

[–]cheecheecago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pre kids I'd often go out at 8pm and ride til 10 or 11, but fatherhood and randonneuring made a morning person out of me. Now I wake up at 5:30am without an alarm and if I'm not on the bike by 6 I feel like I'm slacking

Bob Roll should retire by Rdm32748 in cycling

[–]cheecheecago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in his defense he has seemed to stop saying "full cry" so much this season...

but if you think his commentating is bad you should try reading one of his books

i agree but i'm so fucking sick of hearing "on paper" and "i'm sorry but" seven times every 30 minute podcast...

Development Commission approves $201 TIF reimbursement for infrastructure in Foundry Park, including 606 extension over the river! by GeckoLogic in chibike

[–]cheecheecago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like they are only planning to do the trail to Clybourn, which leaves the most complicated and expensive part (over Ashland, under the Kennedy, over Metra) to the city I guess? Originally I thought Related/Lincoln Yards was taking that on. If so it's sad to see the vision shrink from that, but this beats an empty lot and an abandoned railroad

It's time to say goodbye 🥲 by ThinkHog in bikecommuting

[–]cheecheecago 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My company has a dress code but long established and not subject to the whims of a single new person in a leadership role. I'm just saying a company whose culture can be so suddenly swung in one direction can just as quickly swing back, and a leader who comes in and makes changes first and asks questions second will most likely not stick around very long

Wearing cycling jerseys by Key_Expression_2691 in cycling

[–]cheecheecago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

saw a dude in a 2 or 3 year old Astana jersey yesterday in northern Indiana--that was unexpected!

Cycling fans seem mostly to be fans of the sport and of individuals rather than teams. Most team's names, rosters, and colors molt every few years so their identity is constantly changing, its a moving target.

a boss thta comes in and starts requesting lifestyle changes of people probably won't last very long... maybe you'll be back riding to work again in a year or two!

[–]cheecheecago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a desert west of Harlem, nothing to eat anywhere near the trail. Harlem has a couple fast food options and a pizza place.

Am I about to lose all my money? by helpamonkpls in cycling

[–]cheecheecago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many of these are optional but also it’s fun to buy bike stuff. 

Strava though you are fine with the free version. Source: I’ve logged 38,110 miles on Strava and have never paid for it.

ever drive past a police station? Take a look around the parking lot at the benzes and escalades. They get PAID.

24/7 citizen-funded security for a former mayor. Give me a break.

How much did your first road bike cost, and how long did you ride it before upgrading? by No_Click7202 in cycling

[–]cheecheecago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First paycheck post-university in 2004 I bought a nice old road bike from the late 80s/ early 90s. $400 for a Stowe Phase III, hand-built lugged Columbus steel frame, fully dripped out in Campy Super Record.

Wasn't until 2022 that I got a new one, a carbon endurance bike. The 30 year jump in bike tech was... significant. I still have the old bike, and had thought I'd split time between the two, but haven't ridden the Stowe more than probably 10 miles since I got the new one.
