so on friday i finally finally got my bike taken care of. i'd lost my keys back in december, and kryptonite didn't have any record of me registering my lock :( so i had to get it cut off. So i walked my bike on its back wheel all the way to the bike store on clark, and bought a new lock, and they were so nice. and then to the locksmilth 2 more blocks away, and they were super nice. collier locks is where it's at for excellent lock service, people. after the harrowing experience (sparks flying, the whole 9 yards) of the cutting, they walked me over to the garage next door where they blew up my tires for me so i could ride home. Yay clark street! i am so excited to be moving onto you!
but that was friday. TODAY was my first day of bike commuting, and i got out my bike map over breakfast to plan my route. and wouldn't you know, there's a path along the north branch of the chicago river. it's all woodsy and out doorsy and car-free. sadly, there were lots of joggers on the way home, but they're easier to swerve around. then it started to rain. but it was still nice to get home 15min earlier.
