Where am I?

Des Plaines, pronounced des plaines

My favorite painted signs in the city,. In South Chicago

South Shore, Chicago

I'm at the combination oberweis and red hot ranch.

Babe you're like a disc brake, you make a lot of noise when I get you wet.

I'm surprised Strava hasn't rolled out a credit card yet.

Half mile ride down a side street to lunch and I get an asshole in a CR-V gunning it through stop signs and speed bumps to pass me. Then yells out "what's wrong with you man? I'm just trying to drive" when we stop at the same light

I don't really like it when someone with a Midwestern accent says Melbun or Moan Rayal.

So do we need to call these "freedom plantains" from now on?

Minneapolis sunset

The Minneapolis skyline is dominated by plumes of steam today.

Biked today in Minneapolis! 12 degrees and sunny. They don't salt the roads here.

The famous jingle all the way organized santa crime ring Warehouse

Metra cars spotted in Minneapolis!

I mean c’mon

Strava art but make it noisy and polluting

Thaw dimension

Canal Street is finally back open after 3+years

The urbanism of Kurashiki, Japan 🚗😍🚗🗻

Hah! I already got my turbo man doll 2 weeks ago

The anti bike lane protestors are chanting "honk your horn if you hate traffic" 🤔

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Is that how they do it in SW Michigan?

Taking a ride with my irreplaceable tote bag.

Well someone should go pick it up then!

It's time for me to mute all the zwifties on Strava until the springtime.

What's your favorite soap to use while washing your chicken in a cast iron pan.

Imagine my disappointment when I found out this is for a pipeline under the strait of Mackinac and not a tunnel from Chicago to Benton Harbor. Also @starlinechicago.bsky.social they're stealing your bit.

Don't talk to me or my son ever again

Cyclocross for everyone! Let's go!

It's actually really simple and I'm not going to tell you why but you can figure it out for yourself

Wait... Where did it go?

Bugonia was a great movie about commuting by bike! 🌎🚲

Say what you want, but they steam a good ham.

Indiana is a one-way Street.

Malden and Sunnyside, Uptown Chicago.

I only know be on computer, be on phone, or be on bike.

I don't even understand how you're supposed to use Grindr when the ads pop up. Anytime I try and skip it or click through it just opens up a sketchy pop up on my browser. I always just have to close the entire app and reopen it.

Working outside with some treats on a crisp fall day 😌

Iykyk

Did some messing around with long exposures last night between auroras. This is one shot with no edits.

This is about as good as I could get tonight. First two pictures are from around 8:45, the other two are from around 10:00. 60 second exposures. Green glow and red streaks were visible to the naked eye.

There's an Aurora induced traffic jam leaving Montrose Beach
