It almost always happens after dark (note the times mentioned in the article). I'm not sure riding anywhere in Chicago that time of night would be much safer, or for that matter here. The ne'er-do-wells are bolder under cover of darkness. |

The problem with the 606 is that it's a raised rail embankment. There are places for ne-er-do-wells to lie in wait, and not much you can do to avoid them. On the streeet, there are places to lie in wait, but much better avoidance routes. -- There's nothing sadder than an ontologist without an ontogenesis. -- some guy with a beard |

I was riding the I-205 bike path over the weekend and had to thread my way through the ne-er-do-wells during daylight. It was like day-time night of the living dead. One guy was down on his knees, butt in the trail, staring intently at a still life shrine of a plastic spoon, cup and other trail jetsom. I was waiting for him to light an incense stick. The tents and shopping cart make it hard to get through some sections. The MUPs have turned into favorite camping spots for the homeless. -- Jay Beattie. |

The tents and shopping cart make it hard to get through some sections. The MUPs have turned into favorite camping spots for the homeless. That's sad. AFAIK we haven't had that around here, but I don't frequent bike trails. The only local bike trail assault I heard of was in a different town, and was a kid-on-kid thing. It was vicious, but kids can be vicious. The other places that have suffered a regrettable invasion are our public libraries. The invasion isn't massive, but especially in winter there are some seriously weird characters camped out all day long, sleeping in chairs, talking far too loudly, etc. They're obviously not there to learn anything, but I don't know what can be done. I'm sure their presence dissuades others. Most regrettably, I suspect that parents who see homeless characters in the library become much less likely to permit their kids to go there alone. And I _strongly_ believe in kids going to libraries. -- - Frank Krygowski |
