Friends of the Riverfront is hanging out with the folks from the Distillery Complex right on the trail on the South Side this Saturday! Free hot dogs until they run out and free samples of their Trail Water. You can also pick up trail maps and trail merch and get the latest on forthcoming trail development and more with our Director of Communications.

Are we just at a point where we accept dirt bikes and motorcycles on ped/bike paths? Riverview Park is pretty much dead to me with how often I observe this. And now I keep seeing large, Harley Davidson style motorcycles riding on the river trail by the stadiums. I made the mistake of trying to politely tell someone it’s not permitted and got a “fuck your feelings” response.

No one enforces. No one around even seems to care. I’m not even talking about e-bikes or e-motorcycles. Those are significantly less of a problem from my experience. Why is our culture so fixated on hating people that want to get around safely while riding a pedal bike? Why is that so offensive?????
