[MENTION=94771]ascherer[/MENTION], I just found out that my boss from my first job ever opened a new bike shop near you, called Larry's Freewheeling. He owned a shop in Yorkville for 40 years and sold it and came back out of retirement, perhaps from boredom. Check it out on Yelp. I have never seen such glowing reviews for any type of business. I'm going to pay him a visit for sure.

Have you tried entering the park at the north? I'd think it's pleasanter.
