Chicago Bike Ride: Fulton Street [4K]
August 6, 2022 - I'm back after what's been a busy summer to film a ride down Fulton Street. I rode from downtown to Metric Coffee, my new favorite roastery in Chicago. Fulton Street and the Fulton Market District are still up-and-coming areas with lots of warehouses, factories, bars, and restaurants. Even though some segments of the street are pretty wide, there is little traffic so it's a nice calm route to bike on.

Dublin Ireland Cycling Virtual Tour [4K]
Просмотров 8972 года назад
April 23, 2022 - Chicago by Bike is on the road again, this time in Dublin, Ireland. This virtual tour captures a bike ride down the Grand Canal Cycle Way to the River Liffey on the east side of the city. The bike path runs along the Grand Canal and provides a comfortable space for transportation and recreation. I used dublinbikes, a public bike-share system, for the ride. The bike only cost €5...
Chicago Virtual Tour | Cycling from Lincoln Park to The 606 [4K]

Apr 5, 2020 - This virtual tour captures my bike ride from Lincoln Park to start The 606 bike path. I rode west on Armitage before continuing on Cortland Street. The route bisects the vibrant Lincoln Park neighborhood. While there is a bike lane for the entire route, I consider its design to be inadequate for the amount of car traffic on these streets. Either way, it's certainly a scenic ride t...
Spring Virtual Bike Ride on Chicago's Lakefront Trail [4K]

Mar 21, 2022 - Spring is officially here in Chicago... well sort of. On this particular ride the temperature was 70ºF (21ºC), the warmest it's been in months. But it true Chicago fashion, the warmth was short lived, and the days following the ride were cold and rainy. I rode from Prairie District in South Loop, north on the Lakefront Trail by Soldier Field, and finished just near the Field Muse...
GREEN RIVER: Chicago St Patrick's Day River Dyeing [4K]
Просмотров 4282 года назад
Mar 12, 2022 - Though it was a chilly 17ºF (-8ºF), Chicago came alive for the annual St. Patty's Day river dyeing. The last official dyeing of the Chicago River was in 2019. 2020's dyeing was canceled due to COVID-19 and 2021's dyeing was unannounced and had little fanfare. This 60-year-old tradition was started by the Chicago Plumber's Union and they use 50lbs of orange, vegetable-based dye to...

Mar 6, 2022 - This video captures a ride from Union Park in West Loop to the Chicago Board of Trade in the Loop. From Union Park I rode east down Washington Boulevard before turning south on LaSalle. LaSalle is one of the more impressive streets in the Loop with the Board of Trade sitting on the south end of the street. I finished the ride by the Board of Trade in front of two statutes represen...

Chicago Winter Bike Ride FAIL | Snowy 55th Street Virtual Tour [4K]

Feb. 20, 2022 - I decided to check out the protected bike lane on 55th Street between Washington Park and Promontory Point in Hyde Park. I seriously don’t know what I was expecting but the bike lane was an absolute mess of snow and ice. Considering our last snow was 4 days prior, this is truly unacceptable. Chicago needs to do better. Disappointment aside, I started the ride in Washington Park ...

Feb. 12, 2022 - This video captures a short ride south on Blue Island Avenue from Roosevelt Road to Cermak Road. Blue Island is a diagonal road that cuts through Pilsen on the west side of Chicago and has a descent on-street bike lane. This was actually my first time riding down Blue Island and I was happy most of the snow had been cleared from the bike lane. Route Map: bit.ly/3JzeQYl #chicago ...
Ebike Ride through Snowy City Streets [4K]

Feb 6, 2022 - Chicago’s cold can be brutal, but there really are only a few weeks of the year, at the height of winter, where the snow sticks around and the streets become a slushy mess. This video is a demonstration of what it’s like to ride an ebike through the city during one of these weeks. In the days prior, the city received up to 12 inches (30 cm) of snow, none of which has melted yet. Y...
Amazing Chicago Sunrise | Winter Bike Ride to Adler Planetarium [4K]

Jan 29, 2022 - Sunrises in Chicago over Lake Michigan are usually pretty beautiful, but they're even moreso in wintertime when there's snow on the ground and the lake is frozen. It was 5ºF (-15ºC) when I rode from the Southbank Riverwalk across South Loop to the Alder Planetarium. I arrived at the planetarium just after the sun rose above the water leading to a stunning sunrise over the frozen ...

Jan. 22, 2022 - As we enter the height of winter, the ice in Lake Michigan is starting to become more well-defined. I rode from North Avenue Beach to DuSable Harbor to get a good view of the lake. At the end of the video, you can see DuSable Harbor was mostly frozen over with a few ice fishermen out on the water. It's always a strange sight to see them out fishing downtown in the winter.

Boat Drinks is a fun outdoor bar featuring live music and drinks during the summer; however, on the day I shot this video, the temperature was 24ºF (-4ºC) so the bar was understandably empty. There was a light dusting of snow on the ground and ice was beginning to form in...

Typically, the riverwalk is packed with pedestrians soaking in the beautiful downtown views, that is, when it's not well below freezing. On this evening the Riverwalk was nearly deserted with only a few brave souls out exploring. The nighttime lights of the city are absolutely stunn...

I hope to produce some videos of how we do this stuff in the Bahamas. Thank you for this inspirational video!!!

    They should connect those buildings on the side. Have little bridges and maybe patios all along it so people can have a pedestrian street connected right to their buildings and businesses. Imagine running a little cafe with a little seated patio area that connects to that path. You'd get hella walk-ins all day long.

    • @BiologyIsHot
      @BiologyIsHot Год назад

      Yeah this would just create a safety issue. Have you ever tried biking somewhere that attracts casual pedestrian activity? Here at least there is nowhere really for people to go but walk down the path. If you add what you are describing you will get a monstrosity like the old bike path by navy Pier. The number of friends I knew who got injured commuting because some tourist decided to randomly run across the path without warning was insane. This path is already dangerous enough for biking with how overcrowded it is with large groups of people walking, dogs, etc. Notice how most of the runners understand that you're supposed to stick to the outer blue edge but none of the walkers do? Now add some family with children grabbing ice cream.
