Go to Yojimbo's Garage

Google map with bike routes.

EDIT: for when you have your computer with you.

Yojimbo's is on clyborn somewhere between division and north ave.

But I reckon every bikeshop in the city has free bikemaps., just ask them. You might as well go to wherever is closest, if you are just looking for simple stuff. What is your neighborhood?

edit: whoaaa you guys are fast.

hey, did anyone ever volunteer to show you around? Can I?

EDIT: (I'm editing a lot) I'm free Friday evening, and some time on Sunday. PM me if you want to see some sights.

Chase bank sponsors the bike map and they have locations everywhere. If you can't find a map at a shop, try there.

I think you can get maps from the department of transportation

ride
 

This reminds me, we should have a basic city ride. Start in the center and work our way around along the major bicycling routes. Up the lake path, into evanston maybe, back down damen to milwaukee or elston, through the south side, promontory point, the loop, underground downtown... just a big ****ing ride that goes everywhere, leave no stone unturned. Anybody down? We can make it into a slight pub crawl too. I could stand to see more of the city, I mean **** I've only been to logan square twice.~ David

Can you gmap a route ChicagoDave?

*ahem* Century *ahem*

edit: and I say we time it to warm T-dawg up for the alcohol tour.

I'll be seeing you next week then!

sweet! say hi!

I'll probably be hiding out in the basement huffing frame-saver.

So I'll just ask for teadoggg then right? Dude, huff-huff-pass.

Sweet, have it coincide with Thursday of next week (the sixth)!

I'd be into something like that. dave, you coming up with a route?

Sweet, it's Thursday-ride season again.

Woot. Okay, give me a place to meet before 5PM TODAY because I'll be away from the internets from then until the tenth.

Wicker Park by the swings - Next Thursday at 7.

You read my mind! I'll be there. Map is here.

just south of the intersection of Damen Ave, North Ave and Milwaulkee Ave on Damen. There is a restuarant called Penny's Noodle Shop across the street and it is right next to the Pontiac Cafe <--- for the out of towner that this started for.

Awesome, I'll see you guys then!

what about tonight? Who's down? Or an after-work meet-up in the loop?
