>>>I just wish I had a choice. There's no public transportation that I could use. I'd ride my bike (10 miles), but I doubt I'd be alive when I got there. 40-55 MPH along IL Hwy 59 the whole way and no bike lane.

>>10 miles? I don't think I could make it 10 feet.

>Believe me, I'd have to work up to it. And NOT in the winter! I used to ride a lot BC (before children!) My kids are finally old enough to ride more than a mile. My oldest son and I started riding together a bit this summer. I'm hoping for more next year. Pulling the bike trailer gets hard when you've got 2 in there. Now, I'm down to 1 rider. They sure grow up fast!

Winter?? Chicago?? Bike??? Nope, does not compute.:-)

Yeah, they do grow up fast, Bill. Enjoy them while they're young. My youngest turned 18 last July (and I just can't be that old< s >).
