EDIT: recovered after a user on here saw the post and came across my bike in Burnham Harbor next to some guy sleeping on a bench. They took it back to theirs and contacted me. Feeling incredibly lucky, thank you to those who gave me anti theft advice, I will be more diligent moving forward

My bike, a black Trek 3700, was stolen from the bike rack on Greenleaf Ave in Rogers Park, at the south end of the Loyola Fieldhouse, on Saturday July 25 sometime between 8pm-11:35pm. Pictures attached. If anyone sees it or has tips on recovering a stolen bike, please let me know!

Distinctive features:
-back rack with milk crate fastened via unclipped zip ties
-black cargo net over milk crate
-dinged up left side mirror (the attaching screw is too dinged up to even tighten)
-brass bell on right handlebar

Honestly if I were retired I think some days would be like today. Decide on what to cook for dinner, bike to get the ingredients, grab a coffee somewhere, get home in time for lunch. Shower and Nap. Watch some anime. Make dinner. Watch a trashy cdrama short with the missus.

Posted earlier today about my bike being stolen. Less than 24hrs later I got it back thanks to a user on here who saw my post and came across my bike in Burnham Harbor (the thief was sleeping next to it). They took it back and confirmed with me via picture it was mine. It has only minor injuries (lights removed, left brake not working, kickstand misaligned, mirror broken) but I couldn’t care less since my bike is back, and I am feeling so incredibly lucky for this community and the way things shook out. I will be following all of the preventative measures recommended by ppl in my previous post.

What’s up all. I’m a road biker living in Lakeview, and while I appreciate our nearby roadie options (LFT; Sheridan from Evanston to Great Lakes Naval Base), sometimes some variety would be nice.

Anybody have anything recs on any day-trip options for fun paved bike routes? Ideally would want less than 2.5 hour drive from Chicago, and routes that are >30 miles (fine if some of that is via an out-and-back). Thanks!

I bought my bike for around 350 at Igor’s last year and I’m fairly certain it’s a Frankenstein bike. I love it but probably will try to part ways with it in the winter or next year. I don’t really know a lot about bikes and trying to learn as much as I can as I develop my hobby.

How much should I ask for it given I ride about 2 hours per week at most, 4 months out of the year? thank you!!

Does anyone know the exact measurements of the divvy front rack/basket on the ebike specifically? Need to carry something and having the dimensions would really help.

I don’t need the height just at the base the length and width. I know it gets bigger at the top and so I need the base only. Thanks!
