Too long to bike
Heading out the door of my Evanston apartment this morning, I had the brilliant idea that I would bring my bike with me to Hyde Park (a looong ways away) on the El and bike back. About 18 miles and more than two hours on the bike later, I realize I should have checked some kind of map before making such a rash decision.

However, this trip confirms what I suspected: Chicago is a frigging sweet city. From the bourgeois haven of the east side of Hyde Park to the rundown greystones of Kenwood and Bronzeville to the gorgeous industrial buildings around McCormick Place to the terriffic Millennium Park (everyone's favorite) to the miles upon miles of lakeshore parks to the dense Rogers Park, the riches are endless. So happy we moved here...
