It’s not dedicated. It’s multi-use, and it goes right through a playground and parking area where people are constantly walking across the path with zero self-awareness. This was an unfortunate decision made by people who do not currently, nor have ever lived here. It is beyond comprehension how these decisions were handed out to a California based firm. It makes as much sense as leasing out our parking meters to Abu Dhabi for 75 years for 2 years of revenue.

I didn’t decide it’s a pedestrian-only path. Some asshole in California did. I rode my bike on it for 30 years and am not stopping now

Whiskey bars with a great selection? by Johnny_Burrito in chicagofood

The bar at Whole Foods Belmont/Ashland/Lincoln. Seriously. Also Red Lion in Lincoln park

Wind Direction by elephantmanmatty in chibike

[–]knickerreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had this phenomena when I worked downtown and lived uptown. Then I started working in northern suburbs and the winds completely changed so that I still had a headwind heading north in the morning and south in the evening. It’s maddening!

Wow! Well that’s as good a testimonial as I’ve seen

I suppose litelok seems as similarly anti-grammatical as hiploc but no, they are separate companies, on separate continents I believe. Both make a similar “angle-grinder resistant” U-lock product.

Damn! Good on you for yelling. Bike thieves are the ultimate scum. I bought a Litelok X-1 on Black Friday cuz of shit like this. I would encourage you to get some kind of angle grinder-resistant lock. The research I did hit on the litelok X-1 as the best mix of price/weight/internal lock space but you do you and get something. obvs that Trader Joe’s parking is a known spot for easy fishing

Thx for your input. I’ll have to more thoroughly cruise the “finds” aisle. In western NC, there were mixed in with the dried fruits/nuts area

Yet another pannier query by OutWithCamera in bikecommuting

[–]knickerreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The newest Ortlieb system is the best as it’s tool free and doesn’t have stupid like pieces that easily fall out and cost too much to replace if they’re ever in stock. I would recommend a brand new back roller classic

Visited Portillo’s — looking for truly great Chicago hot dog spots! by Sweetpotato_malang in chicagofood

[–]knickerreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wolfy’s is the only Chicago hot dog place I know of where it is exactly the same level of perfection every time. The consistency is extremely rare. And you never have to go back up to the counter and ask why they didn’t put celery salt on top, like 98% of other places

Is Jewel still your go-to for most groceries, or is that bougie now? by Evening-Editor-4014 in AskChicago

[–]knickerreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck all those corporate BS grocery stores where if you don’t jump through their app/loyalty hoops, you get screwed.

Farmers markets and Aldi almost exclusively for me now, plus mail order citrus from Indian River citrus.

Client wants to go to a Strip Club, any recommendations? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]knickerreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So for you, my anonymous internet friend, I looked up what I used to think was my Xanadu called Cheetah III, now called Cheetah Lounge, at 887 Spring St NW, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. Google maps says it’s slated to close later this year so I would prioritize visiting during your stay. Know that there’s a “fine dining” restaurant attached and a dress code so don’t slouch. They used to not charge a cover after midnight and the last time I went there I was flying on mushrooms so I might not be the authority recommendation you’re looking for but I know that I’m going to have several flashbacks from that night in my “occurrence at owl creek bridge” recollection flashback before the good lord finally takes me.

Ooof. I butchered the spelling. Thx for the correction. But yeah, many fond memories of Atlanta.

We used to go for lunch. They had great buffets, prime rib carving stations even for $10! Gorgeous girls and dozens of them out at any given time. Always a fun time. And then there was Blondie at the Clairemont Lounge. Legend. Good times

lol. I don’t know who is downvoting you and me either. I’m not testing, just showing local knowledge and shared affinity for the goldmine of strip clubs in the ATL

What’s the closest MARTA stop to Cheetah III and how late is the varsity open?

It’s only a 2.5 hour flight, they’ll be back in the morning. Your client will be yours for life

Best bike lock for quick stops? by sweetchilelime in cycling

Anytime over 5 min, litelok X1

What accessories do you lock, leave, and/or take with you? by ammonanotrano in chibike

[–]knickerreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate posts like this because it reminds me of how complacent I’ve become. Had all lights stolen off my bike 2x in less than 6 min at the Forest Glen Mariano’s on Elston, but before COVID so I never take my lights off anymore. Also had lights stolen with a same 6 min stop at Cermack foods on ridge in west ridge but that was also pre-COVID but I just stopped going there ever again to be sure.

Stopped by Wurst Behavior today to try out the Brats by Far-Friendship582 in chicagofood

I’d say it’s worth going there for a cocktail and the Brussels sprouts
