It's a dangerous world to be on the streets of Chi in your car! So you must have guts to take it by bike. That's something to be admired, I guess. Just driving down the street, there are horns blasting & people hand-gesturing to others. I've learned a few new words in sign language, I do believe!
I know, I know, they're practically saving the planet, with their earth-friendly mode of transportation & reducing traffic congestion because one less car is on the road. I don't mind sharing my roadways, I just want these peddle-pushers to have a little respect for the fellow man as well.
Pedestrians are everywhere you turn. There are also walkers & joggers evvvverywhere. I don't really have a problem with them, because they tend to mind the rules of being a pedestrian on the streets. I have to say, I'm more in the blame in their case. I easily got into the habit of stopping at stop signs, but not necessarily before crosswalks, because there's rarely anyone in the crosswalk.......... well, it's a different story here! There is always, someone in the crosswalk.
......... but the bikers are going to be in the cross-hairs if they don't watch it!

Do you ever long for one stop-light life? I lived in Dallas after college, wanting a taste of the big city, and I found that I couldn't stand how busy it was. I was back in Kansas in a year's time.
As much as I loved growing up there, I can't imagine living there again. People do get a kick out of it, when I say we only had one stop-light! Thankfully, we don't live in the midst of the hustle & bustle, we just venture that way when we want entertained ;)
