Pascale, you have never seen people on the north branch of the Chicago Lakefront Path! People are nuts.

I notice you're from the Twin Cities. I have relatives up there. When my cousin, John, moved to Chicago, he learned how to use his horn in traffic. When my aunt came down to visit, she was shocked when he blew his horn! "John! What are you doing?! That's so rude!"

I'm not surprised that you're a more responsible rider than most of us down here.
