      <![CDATA[A very well-timed and well-observed piece on the issues that have made our transportation options so limited and so flawed. To some degree, we've all bought the mythology of the "convenient car" without questioning its massive implications, economic, environmental, and social. I'm confronting these issues in my current blog, http://www.georgezrust.com/carfree/ Thanks for yet another good take on 
    Chicagoland.

      <![CDATA[We rode out the see the BDZ for ourselves last Saturday night.  Unless you see it, you can really get your head around what's happening here.
    
    Ben, if you haven't checked out the  Saint Johannes Cemetery, it's a trip.  Oldest DOB on a cursory inspection was 1823.
    
    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Saint+Johannes+Cemetery+bensenville&ie=UTF8&ll=41.965745,-87.919722&spn=0.015029,0.026608&t=h&z=15
    
    300(?) yards down a beat up dirt road.  Bring your bike again, cause you can't get anywhere near it in a car.
    
    Thanks for writing this.

    but you're right, it's pretty much my idea of biking hell

      <![CDATA[You guys won't give it up. I still say we are in better shape. Mayor Kilpatrick has been indicted and probabily is going to jail. Can you Chicagoans make the same claim,about Daley getting indicted.We have a honest States Attorney who will indict politicans unlike your States Attorney. Daley steals land away from people to on  bogus Airport and Olympic projects. Your city is broke also, but your politicans cook the books and bullshit Chicagoans everything is fine. Detroiters don't have to sell parking meters,public Gargaes ,and lease Airports, like you Chicagoans do. I feel like saying to Detroiters if you Don't like Detroit move to Chicago,and live under Warlord Daley.

      <![CDATA["Re: City-owned recycling centers that we can access by car in order to hand-deliver the City our recycling: 
    
    That's not progress, especially at $4.50 a gallon and not everyone owning cars. That's regression to the status quo before BlueBag."
    
    
    Totally true.  However, people need to know where the drop-offs are located if they want to recycle in the next 3 years.
    
    The good thing about these centers is that you can recycle (among other things) plastics #1-5 and 7, whereas you could only recycle #1 and 2 before.
    
    Here's a better idea: don't buy and use so much shit you have to throw away.  That'd make the City's impact less of a crapshoot.

    Who would ticket you.  The Bensenville cops?  The property maybe owned by Chicago, but it ain't Chicago.
    
    I'm guessing the Bensenville cops would just tell you to move on.

    Yes, greggy poo, you're missing the big picture.
    
    Deliberately, perhaps?
    
    Your bullshit claim of "....under Mayor W. you wouldn't have your bike on the L at all.", suggests that your psychic powers aren't very impressive.
    
    Wow, greg, no wonder you "...don't see the problem.".

      <![CDATA[Wow Ben, I have a somewhat different take on parts your route. I ride out there occasionally and find the nice wide shoulder on Irving Park around the O'Hareport delightful. Wide and fast and away from cars. And for the Blue Line, now it's 20 min instead of 10, you're still not in a car, and under Mayor W. you wouldn't have your bike on the L at all. Last, I get on and off at Irving Park frequently. The attendant usually just asks if I can lift my bike over the turnstyle. I do. It's a lot quicker than waiting for them to open the gate. I just don't see the problem. If I'm missing the big picture, so be it.

      <![CDATA[the detroit comment made the article ;-)
    as an ex detroiter i appreciate the glories that chicagoans take advantage of everyday -- even if they are not perfect, to a former detroiter their simple existence is enough.

      <![CDATA[Look I THINK Mayor Daley is being quite generous. Look without Chicago there would be no Bensenville. Some the sorrounding Communities owe their existence to Chicago. I think it is only proper they give something back,to the provider. Some loud mouthed poverty pimps,would have the people believe Mayor Daley is doing something wrong. On the contrary he is adding value to the entire Chicagoland area. This is why people love him so much.

      <![CDATA[Speaking of ecological disasters, I'd like to give a golf clap to the anti-blue bag people. 
    
    For the last 4 or 5 months, I haven't recycled anything. The blue bag program ended, you can't even BUY blue bags any more, and instead of one small bag of garbage every month, I now have a large bag every week. 
    
    Sheesh.
