The black acoustic Divvy in Chicago, locked up to a bike share corral, with regular bikes next to it. It’s all for me, for now.

Mods are asleep, post bog.

A bog. Grasses in murky, muddy water with scattered trees, under a blue sky with fluffy clouds.

May Critical Mass in Chicago. I did not do a good job of taking pictures. Sorry I didn’t say hi.

Many, many bikers in the street between beautiful tall buildings in Chicago.

Bikers stopped waiting for more bikers near the Stockyards in Chicago.

Oh good, I can just hop on a Divvy…

This is just a standard wave, but it has a wall on one end, and a bunch on one side. So you effectively lock maybe 2 bikes to it? And they’re on the sidewalk in pedestrians’ way. Luckily, it’s on Western, so no one wants to walk there anyway.

Been there since at least September 2023.

There are some benefits to being the first one up on the weekend. Perfect time for reading. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Standing slush is definitely very, very rare.

You should just be able to pull it along the handlebars like a hood. Unzip and Velcro, and pull it along the handlebars, like you’re pulling on a boot. Hole side toward the frame. Apologies, I’m not explaining myself well.
