MUP bridge over Knoxville in Peoria IL. The shop in the background is where my son works. However, in icy conditions, it's extremely dangerous! I've ended up walking the bike on various instances, and recently figured out a good way to avoid the bridge and just take the road to get across Knoxville. In other Peoria bridge news, I finally checked out the work on the Bob Micheal (sp?) bridge. The shoulder on the south side has been left open for pedestrians and bikes while the bridge deck is being removed and replaced. They even set up overhead lighting for the shoulder! Very nice!

That bridge has been a huge boon to bike transportation in eastern Peoria and to recreation in general!

Lovely day today, so I rode the International over to East Peoria to join some friends for a ride. This involves crossing the Illinois river, via the Bob Michel bridge, so I thought it was a good opportunity to stop and grab a couple of quick pics...
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5b7b37_c_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9132d3_c_d.jpg The day started with temperatures around 40F, and ended with temps nearing 70F, so the Carradice ended up carrying a vest, leg warmers, and arm warmers. Nice day! Steve in Peoria |

Humble bike on a bridge - a full-on department store bike, Vulcan DL10 with Shimano Eagle rear der/Thunder Bird front der, hub wing nuts on the front wheel, suicide brake levers, all sorts of fun.
Heavy and some frame rust but it cleaned up nicely and was capable enough for adventures for a while. Now sold on, it was a little small for me. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...c153105cff.jpg |
