Besides the fact that riding a bike today is ****ing insane, does he really expect the SIDEWALKS to be clear from Portage to South Bend?

Insane or has a DUI and needs to get to work.

Where'd you see this, face**** or twit-nit? It's why I stay off both.

.

Yeah, Facebook. I don't twit. I just don't get it.

 

[KLB]

Maybe a joke?

 

[Snapdragon]

Yeah, thought about that too. You're probably right, the more I think about it. Color me gullible today.

Someone making that trip on a bike would not be using sidewalks.

Indeed. Based on the hundreds of times I've made that trip using every possible route, I could figure out a decent, less-lethal route for him...few to no sidewalks.

I go with DUI. Starting in Portage is the main factor that leads me to believe this.

No offense to any Portage dwellers...but I did live in South Haven for 15 years, so I kinda know the area...and its residents.

Every time I see a scooter driven by a bundled up driver in winter...DUI is always my go to answer.

Does the Old Railroad tracks - converted to a Bike / walking path go that far ?

The other day, when it was about 20 degrees, I saw a disheveled looking 20 something guy riding a BMX style bike. I said to my wife:

We know 2 things. He has DUIs and he can't afford an under 50cc scooter.

She said: "he could just like riding a bike for exercise".

I said: "If he were riding a Mountain bike or a racing type bike in exercise clothes, you may have a point. I stick by my assessment.

I see guys riding scooters along 30 in Valpo, Merrillville and Schererville year round, in all weather. Riding along a highway in the pouring rain would be the worst in my view.

Riding in warm rain ain't so bad but cold rain sucks wingwang

No, goes in to downtown Chesterton and then gets sketchy for a bit, surface streets and Nipsco service road, then picks up again in Michigan City for a short while then back to surface streets and heads for Michigan.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad gear.

I took my motorcycle endorsement test in a 45 degree downpour...with bad gear. When I took the paperwork over to the BMV after the test, the ladies were laughing at me as I dripped all over the floor...and still had a 15 mile ride home in the rain.

You were apparently not burdened with an overabundance of good sense

Well, it was the last testing date of the year.....so....no.

A tornado might disagree. Or, I need to see this gear.

Hey, do any of you guys with dogs need this? New in package heavy canvas hammock-style seat cover for the back seat. It hooks to the front and back headrests. I think I paid about $50 for it several years ago and never used it. $25 if anyone can use it.
