    Time Out Chicago / Issue 169 : May 22–28, 2008
    The bikes issue

    Bike love

    Meet the city’s most passionate pedal pushers


    The passion of the bike: If these hardcore cycling enthusiasts love their rides so much, why don’t they marry them? Believe us, they would if they could.
    Save that junk: These bike seats protect your most precious jewels.
    Speed dating: Make sure you wear protection during these two-wheel trysts—we mean a helmet, gutter brain.
    Hot wheels: Fit, punky—and smokin’, TOC’s bike messenger has an effortless, sporty style that’s definitely drool-worthy.
    Sure-fire pick-up lines: Let that pedaling hottie know you’re keen to get in his or her saddle—in a language you’ll both understand.
    Plus:
    Song cycles: Local musicians sing about how pushing pedals fuels their creativity.
    Breaking away: Dozens of Chicago cycling events make it easy to earn your racing stripes.
    Just the ticket?: Cyclists hope for stronger enforcement of the new Bicycle Safety Ordinance as summer shifts into gear.
    Home remedy: “While I don’t live in a shoebox-sized apartment, I haven’t come up with a way to store my bike indoors in an unobtrusive way.”
