Same shot different day

Friendly summer skies

One more lane bro, just one more lane will fix it [unironically]

Now that's what I call a modal filter

Some days, the only thing you can do is bike to Michigan City, Indiana

USA

Shabbat Shalom! 😍

Adventure time, Metra Electric running a Sunday schedule on Saturday & lakefront trail closed for a 10k edition.

The first Cybercrap I saw in Chicago was parked at McGuane Park when the Tour de Chi ride stopped there. How you can drive something this stupid and not die of embarrassment I do not know. Also, this is not a parking spot, but it is appropriately dumpster-adjacent!

Second Cybercrap sighting! Realizing now that I never got around to posting the first. Man these things are embarrassing.

St. Boniface Catholic Church in Quincy, designed 1962 by John Benya. The 160-foot stainless steel steeple towers over Maine Street, but the building is not currently in use.

Shoulda biked today, it turned out to be such a nice day! Also, apparently Plymouth is now Pancho's.

Hills are scenic and all, but you can't beat flat open river bottoms for pleasant cycling.

Villa Kathrine (George Behrensmeyer, 1900), a Moroccan-style villa sitting high stop the bluff south of downtown Quincy

Pinching myself every time I bike by the Point because I'm not sure this is real.

Is this bike photo corny?

Same shot different day

Lesem House (Harvey Chatten, 1890), possibly my favorite of the houses I saw in Quincy. I don't know why it exists but I love that bulbous thing on the roof!

Looking out over the Mississippi River from Villa Kathrine, Quincy

Hi it's me your hungover friend who ran out of steam and went to the train station 2.5 hours early.

River's a little high

Would you bike 15 miles just to look at an airport terminal building, or are you normal?

The views from Quincy's Woodland Cemetery at sunset are to die for.

Amazing day biking around Quincy, don't even know where to start posting things so please enjoy this gorgeous glass block wall that matches my pannier!
