hello fellow Chicagoan and American where abouts are you from Chicago? i am from Lincoln Square but grew up in Uptown close to Marine Drive and Lakeshore Drive. lived everywhere from Bucktown, Ukrainian Village, Lincoln Park, Gay town (Halsted and Broadway), 2 blocks from WRigley Field, and some random places went to UIC and spent $$$$ for my education (wishing i NEVER did) and after moved to sunny awesome 350 days of blueskies Southern California and never went back yeah got annoyed with the extremely cold biting winter weather :w00t: i do go back quite often as all my family lives there but not going to move back there i don’t think
how did you find Londonbikers? since Illinois doesn’t have a helmet law, would you be okay wearing one here? i recommend that you do as it can get quite mental here esp filtering (splitting lanes) and yeah being on the “wrong” side of the road do you plan to rent a bike? it’s very strict over here…so watch your speed, cameras everywhere!
well see you around then? and have a safe trip here it’s rainy and freaking cold though not as cold as Chicago! are you prepare to ride in the rain?
Have visited Chicago - great city - went all over China town, the Vietnamese Quarter, got the bus down to the south side to the Vietnam War Museum - where some random and interesting ex war veteran was dancing the salsa in the lobby and said ‘it’s just like marching, except it’s dancing’ , caught the subway from the north to the south of the city, ate fantastic food - oh and went shopping in the centre:D
It was a great city - the people were very friendly and helpful towards a lost lone lady randomly trying to find her way about. However, I found it rather cold and windy - visited it in March.
