Representing Chicago!
Hi Ya'll!
My name is Robert and I am a 26 year old recent college graduate, originally from NY state. I've been riding my Schwinn BMX (which I bought at a pawn shop) since I arrived in the summer. Mostly rode in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago between July and November, but this week (despite the cold weather) I decided to commute to work with my bike. It was tough for the first two days. I was either underfueled, in tight traffic, or the snow was still not slushy enough
In any case, I'm glad to be here and hope to make the most of these here boards.
