Did I miss something? Why would anyone be upset? Not using a helmet? The mirror on a Fedora? That you have a Schwinn Voyager and we don't?

What was the temperature when you made the grocery run? It must have been cold, but no snow in sight.

^^^^ That's one more hitching post than our Aldi's has, the city ordinance requiring proportional bike parking notwithstanding.

Dang, you mentioned Aldi's, and I thought it was gonna be about another steal of a deal for their cheapo work stand.

i know right? I used one of thier computers for years. I also wore out several 6 dollar floor pumps. They work pretty good until you start inflating bike shares.

I just moved to Peoria from deep in the backwoods of Nebraska and am digging Aldi! It’s the only grocery store I’ve rode too so far.

I'm in the West Central neighborhood. Not too far from the Univeristy Aldi. Peoria has been a big switch for me, for the last 10 years I lived 70 miles from the nearest Wal-Mart!

I’ll be in (east) Peoria for a conference Thursday night. Was hoping I’d be able to catch the coop, but I’m not sure if it’s doable for me.

I haven’t been to the coop yet. I’ll have to check it out now that it’s warming up.

Is the open stage every Thursday night?
