Huge thank you to Will and Omar for being part this interview. Also I would like to thank my buddy Jorelle the videographer for dealing with our antics for 4 hours. This video was a tremendous undertaking in the editing department, something I won't look forward to doing again anytime soon. Mistakes were made, but I am proud to represent this warm and inviting community of Chicago Cycling.
Thanks for the 606 shoutout, Willy! We’re raising the bar for women so that they feel comfortable going to male-dominated group rides like WNR. Support from the community means a lot.
I moved to Chicago (Wicker Park) from the suburbs in 2004. The best way to get around was by bike. I had my brother’s old Trek mountain bike and it was fun zipping around! Around 2012 I was able to buy a 2010 Specialized Allez 105 from Craigslist! This changed the way I biked! I started road riding for exercise and loved it ever since! Greta podcast/episode!
I'm glad that the Chicago club scene is still going strong. Long gone are the days where the whole group was either xXx-Athletico or South Chicago Wheelmen
Hey Patrick, congratulations on a great episode. This was a solid intro into the Chicago Cycling scene. I believe you’ll have so much more to share. I can attest to the sentiments shared by Omar and Will. When I first moved to Chicago in 2016, I lived in Evanston off Church Rd. I used to own the KOM but then got crushed. Upon moving to the area I knew no one. I stopped by a LOB in Wilmette, Higher Gear which no longer exists and was kindly greeted by the staff and other cyclists that were stopping in. Before long I started riding up and down Sheridan and ran into so many great cyclists who invited me to group rides. The first ride I was invited to was the Judson ride and I got dropped!! I later met others from Union, BZ Boy (D-Wade), etc. I never realized how vast the cycling community is in Chicago and the Northshore. Later, we settled in Naperville, and I was concerned about leaving such a vibrant Chicago City scene only to be amazed by the Cycling Culture and Community in the Western Chicago suburbs!! And the roads were much better and less traffic! I was greeted by awesome dudes from Naperville, Wheaton, Aurora, and Glen Ellen. EMC2 and B4DAWN. And those dudes were just as strong and committed to cycling. I moved from the area to NC/SC a year ago. I’m sharing all of this to say, the story that you’ve started can be told about the expansive Chicagoland! Good luck! Brimstone.
Great informative podcast Patrick! As someone new to the road cycling scene (in CHI) this was great. If you wanna record another episode I am happy to offer my tiny studio to film in. 🙌
Great job Patrick I've always wanted to do something like this but haven't made the time glad you made some time to put something together for Chicago cycling😊
Can absolutely second the community building aspect of WNR. This ride and the hang out at 7-11 after was what I looked forward to every summer. Another thing that makes Chicago special. I moved to Seattle and this doesn’t exist here.
Man I rode in Seattle last Summer. Out of 20 cyclists I encountered....only about 4 of them actually waved back to me. It was pretty unsettling. As was all the broken glass everywhere LoL
@@PatrickLinoOh ya people scared to wave, that’s the “Seattle Freeze” it’s a real thing. Happy to show you a better side of Seattle cycling if you come back this way. Ask the guys on KLiCK Cycling, they can vouch for me 😂
Enjoyed this format, especially it being Chicago centric! Maybe you could invite members from different teams/disciplines to share their Chicago cycling experiences
Great video, Patrick. Love seeing more likeminded brothers into cycling because when I got started it was totally foreign where I come from. Keep the vids coming. 🤘
First off… Love the format! As a Videographer and content creator I personally enjoy and have a genuine interest in the man-hours, which take place in order to execute a project like this. If I were in the Chi-area I’d definitely be on board with collaborating! For a *first podcast I think it was excellent! Plenty of camera angles and IMO you had the *right people in the room. My only critique is audio. Making the audio more balanced across the three(3) speakers. Other than that, I enjoyed it! Great work Patty! 🎥 #RobbArmstrong
Mr Patrick and the other two gentlemen,cyclist. Great show learn some new things from your conversation. Kudos to you guys and keep the content coming.
Whose Standert is that? If it's your size, can you ride it and compare to other framesets? I'm interested in their frames .. but.. feedback online is often that they are - I guess overall it seems: uninspiring to ride. Not lively.
Patty does literally a single interview video....and people think I'm no longer gonna make bike reviews haha. I have a BUNCH of reviews coming very soon ❤
Wow, this has NOT been my experiance with any of the group rides I've been to on the south side of Chicago. I'm a much happier/better cyclist riding solo without having to deal with all the bro a-holes getting in my face about how they beat me. I don't give an F, I ride for fun. Let's see how you do after 120+ miles D-head. 🙂

What's up Pat. This Travis. Nice video. Don't know much about cycling but I learned some things 👍

Congrats on the Fiji water sponsor! Always good to see friends having a good time!
Fiji water product placement 🤣🤣
Enjoyed this format, especially it being Chicago centric! Maybe you could invite members from different teams/disciplines to share their Chicago cycling experiences
Great idea, thanks for tuning in!
Hey Patrick, congratulations the new format. Good to know a bit about the Chicago cycling scene👍🏾

Not my bike, but the owner in the video sold his for the very reason you stated.
@@PatrickLino wow, thank you.
Chicago gravel is underrated
What's your favorite gravel areas in Chicago?
A few segments in Lincoln Park / LFP: Hollywood to North Av?
That sweatshirt is absolutely 🔥. What brand is that?
Can't remember, but I copped it in Tokyo few years ago 👀
you bringing these hitters to the RR100 this year?!
If I can convince them to start racing again!
Just road cycling or Mountain biking too?
I don’t know what you are asking.
@@PatrickLino Do you guys only do road biking or do you also do MTB?
@@17even Do we have MTB areas in Chicago? Let me know…
palos

Patty does literally a single interview video....and people think I'm no longer gonna make bike reviews haha. I have a BUNCH of reviews coming very soon ❤
😄i actually thought its a great idea having both.@@PatrickLino the pod could be a monthly thing idk
@@Dustydayzz I can't argue with that idea haha. There is now a demand for more!
oompa loompa cycling for chicago???!
There are quite a few reoccurring cycling podcasts now. Probably too many. I can’t imagine this will be a regular thing lol.
@@PatrickLino lol i would love to see more of what omar has to say and his experiences
