Papa Rides a Bike

An avid pedestrian in Chicago.
The hood of this vehicle is over six feet tall. What the hell are we doing?
A small street in chicago your flowers are beautiful.May I take a picture of them
2 Lanes not 1 signs were handed out. There was intense fear mongering about how businesses on 35th in McKinley Park would be shuttered if bike lanes came to the neighborhood.
I'm turning this whiskey cask into a rain barrel. It was harder than I anticipated putting the metal bands back on after taking the head off.
A day of Gelato in the spray of Buckingham fountain, Maggie Daley Park fun and eats/more playing on the Riverwalk. Summer in Chicago. By bike, of course.
The back footpegs make a good mounting point for these 5gallon buckets that I use for food scraps. It's more comfortable riding with them lower too.
I'm reading this book right now. It was published in 2009 but seemingly predicts the rise of Trump. It's been pretty interesting so far and I'm only 50 pages in. The demise of institutions appears to go hand in hand with the rise in conspiracism.
Permanent farmers market grounds? Yes please! Where would you put them in Chicago? In Ithaca, NY
How would you design a street in your neighborhood if cars were no longer allowed? Street in Ithaca, NY commons.
She's not particularly happy doing this but she would have died of heat stroke walking 1.5 miles right now in 90° weather
The company that makes this trailer has accessories to carry plywood! You can also lay it down over the metal wheel wells. It's made by Bikes at Work and it's incredible. I got it for around $200 used. It is expensive new. You can make it larger/smaller and move the axle for load distribution
Who knew the Grackle had such strength? The family vehicle that also works.
We can't get a protected bike lane here because the jagoffs at these businesses demand a half-mile-long curb cut so they can park a few cars. There is a PBL on the other side of the street.
Look at the strange hermit crab-like worm that I found on the bike rack today. Don't see that when you're parking your car.
Lots of pedestrians cross Clinton and the bike lane outside of union station midblock between adams and Jackson. There should at least be sharks teeth to cue cyclists to yield. What do you think?
These endangered orchids in the UP were really cool to find. Gotta be honest though, they look more like a brain than a lady slipper.
We scavenged this dock from the lower harbor in Marquette a few years ago. We've been slowly building with it. We've done a summer outdoor kitchen, a shower house and now the Ger/yurt is getting a new front porch. It's surprising how much one person can move with a hand cart.
