Hail on Thursday, rain and flooding Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Grid Shots this week is about weather challenging our transportation system. And our transportation modes.

Group bike ride to protest coal-powered plants in Chicago which Community Voicebox participated in. Mayor Emanuel brokered a deal with Midwest Generation to have them shut down by the end of 2012. My photo.

We’ve had some great storms in the past two days so I don’t feel bad at all for posting a train rolling through snow. Photo by Clint.

Updated May 7 to change introductory text and first photo’s caption.
My most challenging biking weather in Illinois is always associated with high wind — either combined with extreme cold (e.g. blizzards) or summer thunderstorms (e.g. tornados). Other than that, anything else is a picnic.
What’s it like biking through an earthquake?
I moved to California specifically to research the experience of cycling through an earthquake. I always seem to be in the wrong place sat the wrong time,
I concur on the wind.
Sorry that I haven’t read Grid in a while.
