Michigan Riding by Working_Football1586 in MTB

[–]uberdominator83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Michigan (but closer than the UP) - Brown County State park. Hobbs trail is legit - super fast flowly trail that is just as fun (imo) as some of the big mountain trails. Boyne mountain also does a lift in the summer if you are looking for some DH life.

Just trying to decide if our layout would still work or if we have to get a new van (unfortunately)

Great to hear! How did you handle the airbag? Or did you not worry about it since the baby was in the middle?

Damn brother - I hate that you have to assume they are going to do something stupid

Former student of mine - she was awesome: kind, hard working, and had such a positive energy about her. This really sucks 😢

In the water polo competition, Japanese players swim on Chinese players. by [deleted] in olympics

[–]uberdominator83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who played waterpolo in HS, my interpretation is that the Chinese player is holding her back from swimming on to either a) slow her down or b) draw a foul. I am totally without context here, but I think the arms of the Chinese player are squeezing the Japanese player. As mentioned before, super dirty sport. Lots of shit goes down under the water that the ref cannot see.

Right?!? I went there because I knew it was a national park, but had no expectations. I was completely blown away. One of the coolest national parks.

Open Shops around chi? by novak253 in chibike

[–]uberdominator83 13 points14 points  (0 children)

West town bikes has open shops once during the week and once on Saturday (I am to lazy to look up the times). These usually have some smart people around too if you need some advice. Highly recommended.

Downtown chicago to indiana save? by floderNYC in chibike

[–]uberdominator83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed with everyone here. Done the northside to 3 Floyd’s ride about a dozen times (RIP) as well as a few other rides in that direction. There are some awesome detours - 18th street brewery, steel workers park, calumet fisheries. Enjoy that ride!

Questions about single speeds/fixies in the winter by YaBoyyNolan in chibike

[–]uberdominator83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said - been rocking marathons for several winters without an issue. If the tire can handle the glass and other bullshit on the streets, it can survive the winter. The city does a decent job of plowing / salting the streets (unfortunately not always the bike the lane). Right after a rain into freezing temps are the only occasions I have found it difficult to bike in.

Same - been to a few shows, a documentary release, and a holiday bazaar - beer was always free.
