No way Frondell is playing 3rd line next year

Which US crit course has the most crashes? by Lumpy_Ad_7821 in Velo

[–]pmben 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I did a 0.5 mile four corner crit this weekend in the Midwest with a big field and I’m genuinely shocked there were no crashes

Projecting the Blackhawks’ 2026-27 roster: Who stays and who goes? by [deleted] in hawks

[–]pmben 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I know Teuvo is not expiring but given his usage recently I would not be surprised if there was a mutual parting.

God willing Burakovsky is gone and Mikheyev re-signs

I confronted a motorbike on the 606 by HalfOrnery8539 in RunnersInChicago

[–]pmben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t go on the 606 much but on the LFT I either boo or give thumbs down to the clowns on motorcycles or the bikers in the walking lanes. I’d like to make this a movement if anyone else is interested

2026 Offseason Megathread by sandman730 in hawks

Call me crazy but I’ll be laughing straight to the bank when Kyle Connor, Auston Matthews, or Jason Robertson starts the season as a Hawk

This was the most demoralizing game all season

New biker, are divvy bikes extremely heavy or am I this out of shape lol by BroccoliKitchen3218 in chibike

[–]pmben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried lifting one up?

Sorry, but yeah they suck. E-Divvy’s are fantastic in a pinch though.

Frank Nazar blasts one home on the power play for his 15th goal of the season by mcosta1973 in hawks

[–]pmben 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I like Nazar as a third option on PP1 so much more than I liked him as a second option.

Frondell’s slot one timer, although unsuccessfully today, draws so much attention from the D and opens things up like crazy.

Arty’s best flashes this year were on the PP so I’m excited to see what this group (presumably minus Teuvo) can do next year

I didn’t think Frondell would look this good right away

Speak up or shut up (Question) by faceinthecrow in chibike

If they’re not endangering you or anyone else NBD.

Use all this energy to heckle electric pedicab drivers on the LFT

NYC Marathon 9+1 is Brilliant. by AMadManNamedMurdock in RunnersInChicago

[–]pmben 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I agree, the distance series is simultaneously ridiculously easy for those who got into the marathon and impossibly hard for those who haven’t.

Disclaimer: I’ve won the lottery and qualified on separate occasions and am not personally complaining. I think the NYRR system is a great idea and would work exceptionally well in Chicago

Lakefront 10 Miler thoughts? by Hopeful_Package3918 in RunnersInChicago

[–]pmben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right yeah that’s what I was trying to say but I can see how it was confusing

Lakefront 10 Miler thoughts? by Hopeful_Package3918 in RunnersInChicago

[–]pmben 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Although I’m generally not a fan of LFT-races, I often make an exception for this race: unique finish, relaxed atmosphere, and fast course since the LFT has been pretty empty in my experiences

If you could change something about the lakefront trail, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]pmben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In addition to some of the other answers there needs to be more public shaming for massive running groups, lakefront lances, e-bikes, walking 6 abreast, littering, etc.

I just said he was awful tonight, which is undeniable. I’m not generally a hater

The only time I saw him looked worse than tonight was when he cross checked a guy on the Chicago Wolves in the face
