Chicago's lakeshore drive is a wonderful place to ride! Only a slight problem with the huge masses of people in the summer, but it's fun passing people up that are 20 yrs older than me, and on ridiculously expensive bikes (are you one of those people, hmmmm...), and having the feel like you're in a peloton.JTE83 said:I'm in a temp job in Houston TX and it's 68 to 82 F these days. But I don't know of any real nice bike paths that can compare to Chicago's Lake Shore drive. Guess I'll just have to risk it biking in the streets.
I'd rather be in Chicago where it's colder because Chicago is an awesome bikeable city with great bike paths.

Here we go again...alienator said:What, exactly, is a ridiculously expensive bike? Is there some metric for what people are allowed to buy? Or is "ridiculously expensive" determined solely by what some other overly judgemental person thinks you should buy?
Come to Tucson. There are all kinds of people on "ridiculously expensive" bikes that ride ridiculously fast.
Again, I'm completely dumbfounded by people that think they've really won something or made a statement when they've passed a complete stranger on the road.

Sorry for the terminology, but when I say "ridiculously expensive" I mean anything above $3,000...that's just me, if you don't like it, deal with it dude. I might be overly judgemental...but is there a metric measurement for that as well?

Bikelyst said:Dumbfounded, eh? Again....you cannot tell me that you don't feel some sense of victory when you pass someone on the road. Regardless of the fact that you think that it's some sort of absolute tragedy when people try to feel good about the fact that they just passed someone.
It's human nature....get used to it.
What the hell is your problem? Is it some sort of tragedy that I enjoy being competitive. I could care less about someones training intervals, schedule...is it a sin if I enjoy passing people? I honestly don't have an interest in what you think...alienator said:Deal with your ignorance? I guess we have no choice. I guess it's always the small minded folks that think they have some inside knowledge that allows them to decide who should have what. Note that "small minded" applies to you here.
Given your 'tude, I'd be surprised if you were able to find anyone to ride with you.
Actually, I don't. It's the people like you that think that there is some unspoken agreement to "race." And it's the real small minded turds that think they've really accomplished something based on what some other person was riding. I mean, how presumptuous and stupid can you get? Is it really an accomplishment to pass someone that has no interest in what you're doing? Is it really an accomplishment to pass someone of whom you know nothing about what they've done so far that day, what sort of training they might do?
Wow. You're life must really suck to get a feeling of accomplishment from such a worthless event, passing a total stranger on the road.
You must truly be a stud.

What ever happened to the quality of someones opinion? Is it terrible that I have opinions about someone's bike? However I would never dare go loathing about what I think someone should have...
That's what small minded folk do
I am sick of wasting my time arguing about totally irrelavent arguments with people who are obviously expecting some arrogant reaction (although this post was kind of arrogant, mind you) Don't expect a reply back...
Didn't you mention you were a teenager in another post, dude? When you grow up and get a real job you might find that $3K just is not that much money. $10K is not much money, especially if you spend it on something you enjoy and spend a lot of time doing.Bikelyst said:Sorry for the terminology, but when I say "ridiculously expensive" I mean anything above $3,000...that's just me, if you don't like it, deal with it dude.

$3,000 is actually about average for a bike these days. A decent bike that is if you plan to ride a lot. You kind of get what you pay for in the biking world, thats what I have found.Bikelyst said:Here we go again...
