I've never been much of a city chick. When my city loving friend wanted me to visit Chicago with her and ride bikes around the city... omg I thought I would not make it! But, loving my friend, I did it...

Wow, what a surprise! Not only did I survive, I loved riding around in the city! There was this wonderful thing called a "bike lane". And one that cars actually stayed out of! Even the taxis. Plus, with the large buildings... no to very little wind (in the windy city, what irony, eh?)... and warth.

When my friend lived in these parts we were re-visiting, she was car-free. Bike or public transportation only. After my exerience first had, I can totally see that. Plus, the city parking is so limited. It was nice making progress riding too in our lane... while the traffic stood still in the car lane.

Pretty awesome.
