Chicago Bike Ride: Fulton Street [4K]
August 6, 2022 - I'm back after what's been a busy summer to film a ride down Fulton Street. I rode from downtown to Metric Coffee, my new favorite roastery in Chicago. Fulton Street and the Fulton Market District are still up-and-coming areas with lots of warehouses, factories, bars, and restaurants. Even though some segments of the street are pretty wide, there is little traffic so it's a nice calm route to bike on.

Dublin Ireland Cycling Virtual Tour [4K]

April 23, 2022 - Chicago by Bike is on the road again, this time in Dublin, Ireland. This virtual tour captures a bike ride down the Grand Canal Cycle Way to the River Liffey on the east side of the city. The bike path runs along the Grand Canal and provides a comfortable space for transportation and recreation. I used dublinbikes, a public bike-share system, for the ride. The bike only cost €5...
Chicago Virtual Tour | Cycling from Lincoln Park to The 606 [4K]

Apr 5, 2020 - This virtual tour captures my bike ride from Lincoln Park to start The 606 bike path. I rode west on Armitage before continuing on Cortland Street. The route bisects the vibrant Lincoln Park neighborhood. While there is a bike lane for the entire route, I consider its design to be inadequate for the amount of car traffic on these streets. Either way, it's certainly a scenic ride t...
Spring Virtual Bike Ride on Chicago's Lakefront Trail [4K]
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 роки тому
Mar 21, 2022 - Spring is officially here in Chicago... well sort of. On this particular ride the temperature was 70ºF (21ºC), the warmest it's been in months. But it true Chicago fashion, the warmth was short lived, and the days following the ride were cold and rainy. I rode from Prairie District in South Loop, north on the Lakefront Trail by Soldier Field, and finished just near the Field Muse...
GREEN RIVER: Chicago St Patrick's Day River Dyeing [4K]
Переглядів 4242 роки тому
Mar 12, 2022 - Though it was a chilly 17ºF (-8ºF), Chicago came alive for the annual St. Patty's Day river dyeing. The last official dyeing of the Chicago River was in 2019. 2020's dyeing was canceled due to COVID-19 and 2021's dyeing was unannounced and had little fanfare. This 60-year-old tradition was started by the Chicago Plumber's Union and they use 50lbs of orange, vegetable-based dye to...

I finished the ride by the Board of Trade in front of two statutes represen...

Feb. 20, 2022 - I decided to check out the protected bike lane on 55th Street between Washington Park and Promontory Point in Hyde Park. I seriously don’t know what I was expecting but the bike lane was an absolute mess of snow and ice. Considering our last snow was 4 days prior, this is truly unacceptable. Chicago needs to do better. Disappointment aside, I started the ride in Washington Park ...

Feb 6, 2022 - Chicago’s cold can be brutal, but there really are only a few weeks of the year, at the height of winter, where the snow sticks around and the streets become a slushy mess. This video is a demonstration of what it’s like to ride an ebike through the city during one of these weeks. In the days prior, the city received up to 12 inches (30 cm) of snow, none of which has melted yet. Y...

I arrived at the planetarium just after the sun rose above the water leading to a stunning sunrise over the frozen ...

I hope to produce some videos of how we do this stuff in the Bahamas. Thank you for this inspirational video!!!

    They should connect those buildings on the side. Have little bridges and maybe patios all along it so people can have a pedestrian street connected right to their buildings and businesses. Imagine running a little cafe with a little seated patio area that connects to that path. You'd get hella walk-ins all day long.

    • @BiologyIsHot
      @BiologyIsHot Рік тому

      Yeah this would just create a safety issue. Have you ever tried biking somewhere that attracts casual pedestrian activity? Here at least there is nowhere really for people to go but walk down the path. If you add what you are describing you will get a monstrosity like the old bike path by navy Pier. The number of friends I knew who got injured commuting because some tourist decided to randomly run across the path without warning was insane. This path is already dangerous enough for biking with how overcrowded it is with large groups of people walking, dogs, etc. Notice how most of the runners understand that you're supposed to stick to the outer blue edge but none of the walkers do? Now add some family with children grabbing ice cream.
