New bike video! Evening cocktails on Chicago's northside.

Jun 15, 2009 at 8:01 PM

All right, my very first Chicago bicycling video for 2009! I make these as supplements to the customized bike maps I create for Google [jasonpettus.com/maps]; this one goes with a new map this year, detailing the various inner-city enhanced bike lanes on Chicago's northside, designed specifically for locals making daily errands and visiting friends (or in other words, not just for tourists, like so many of the parks' winding bike lanes.) This trip finds me going from Uptown to Lincoln Park for a sunset cocktail, via Southport down there and Halsted back, a total journey of seven miles (11 km).

By the way, sorry I haven't been getting updates posted recently; as happens several times a year to me, my internet connection at home is out right now and will be for several more weeks, limiting my online time to the library (where I can't actually plug in a USB stick and upload anything I've brought from home) and the neighborhood internet cafe (where I'm paying per minute). This will all be rectified soon, and then it's back to the usual photo-heavy entries.
