A bit of thread necromancy here, but I just found this community. I'm living in Chicago, about 3 blocks from Wrigley, and would love to ride sometime.
When I say ride, though, I really mean practice. I've been stuck on learning how to idle for awhile now (thanks to the Chicago Winter I'm a bit rusty) and really need to learn that to do any serious city riding due to all the starting and stopping. So, if anyone has a bit to stop by and give me a few pointers, I'd buy your dinner. So far I'm absolutely 100% self-taught and I'd *love* an outsider opinion and a few tips.
