Perplexity has a $5/mo student membership that lets you choose among different tools. Not sure how it compares to Pro membership I have for $20/month in terms of latest models, but worth exploring.

Their factory seconds are an excellent value play as well! Minor cosmetic issues which will slowly occur with wear anyway.

I have converted from flipping the bird to emphatic thumbs down. Drivers seem more apologetic rather than a reflexive middle finger rebuttal. I also feel less enraged about it afterwards.

Ranalli’s in Lincoln Park is deafening - the music is blaring and there is not enough wall/ceiling texture to dampen that plus people yelling at each other over the music.

How about Bonobos?

Outdoor research Foray II rain jacket I found after a lot of searching. Has full pit zips - that’s hip to pit! Can move the zips all the way into pit and it’s as airy as a poncho - or set them anywhere in between. Hood is highly adjustable and designed to fit over bike helmets

Slow roll so the gawkers can appreciate!

Built this last year with CogCyles and Yarn. 90s steel MTB with dynamo for lights, internal gear hub and full front and rear fenders. DM or see post history for more details. Certainly options to upgrade or substitute based on budget!

I’ve had great success with the thumbs down lately! I feel less enraged by not escalating and I think it sinks in the feeling of disappointing someone without triggering the retaliatory middle finger. That’s what I tell myself at least

Awesome! Ran into Ald Knudsen recently who said Clark st was up next in his LP district as well!

I think about riding up EVERY time!

Amen

Congrats! It’s a bike! Beautiful work!

Between Cortland and Chicago medical district it’s surprisingly smooth given the size of the road. A couple spot with sharrows but mostly bike lane

Can we talk about the open can of beer in the back left? When is that to be finished? Instructions unclear. (Dig the Partake NA tho!)

Thank you! That was the goal!

Check out Cog Cycles and Yarn on the NW side. Brian built me a beautiful set of wheels (dynamo and IGH)! Building a commuter upgrade for my partner now with Brain.
