    Yes, isn't the quiet amazing! A ride event motorcycle went by at one point, and it was astonishing how much noise it made.

    I was amazed. Chicago has a pretty high and steady ambient noise level (as I'd guess most cities do), so riding along and actually hearing your tires on the pavement, birds singing, and the waves on the lake, was just awe inspiring. It would be so cool to live someplace where the cars were electric, and the majority of people rode bikes or took electric public transport... very peaceful.
