Depends on the play style like melee or ranged or spells. There are so many classes and many ways to combine them so I can't say how it is for all.

Been having a blast as a gunslinger with undead meat shields though lmao

First time getting hit by car. I was on the sidewalk going the opposite direction as traffic and a driver pulled out cause they were looking at oncoming.

First time getting hit by car. I was on the sidewalk going the opposite direction as traffic and a driver pulled out cause they were looking at oncoming.

Mostly okay except for a sprained ankle and bruised hands where I caught myself. I would consider them at fault because I was going at a deliberate crawl and it's the motorist's responsibility to look out for pedestrians but I also shouldn't have been biking on the sidewalk. I just thought they saw me cause I rang my bell and saw their head turn but i guess they didn't register me.

This is the most likely accident that occurs when one bikes on the sidewalk which is why it's illegal in Chicago. Lesson learned for me is it would've been proper and safer to just take the lane and ride with traffic than to bike on the sidewalk. Also bought an electric horn.

Ultimately though, the solution is infrastructure and Touhy needs bike lanes. The driver was a good guy and got out to check on me immediately. We just exchanged information but I don't think I'll have medical bills or bike repairs and that's the best outcome.

Do bike lanes like this have a right to exist?

Yeah just take the lane. I like going the opposite direction because you're less likely to get doored. That's why I prefer the Berwyn Greenway rather than Lawrence when going from the NCT to the LFT.

What is a good option for getting to/from the far north side to the northwest side

Traveling radially around Chicago is just a bad time. Everything's geared towards traveling to or away from the loop.

There are plans to pave the Weber Spur Trail. Imagine if it connected all the way to Lawrence.

Which Lakefront Trail concession or beach cafe has the best coffee?

Great thread idea, OP. I'm gonna try some of these suggestions as well.

Unfortunately, all that comes to mind for me are the McDonald's and Starbucks in Navy Pier.

Time for a PSA campaign?

Yeah, but I don't trust people and I need concrete and buffer zones separating us from hazards.

Thankfully not yet but I hear stories all the time from people who had their bikes stolen.
