I'm from Northwest Indiana. I work in Chicago though and I'm looking to take the bike downtown a few times this summer.

Fairly new to the Shadow, but not to riding. Live 6000 north, 3200 west in the city. Have ridden mostly around town so far; longer trips have been impossible due to back and leg pain. But installed a new Mustang seat last night, so hope to be able to work up to some out-of-town trips very soon.

I'm south of Chi. A couple coworkers and I are planning a ride around Flossmoor this weekend. Lincoln Park area in the next few weeks.
