Photo submitted by Bill Winslow, “This was taken on a foggy Saturday morning while JRA. I ended up riding through Northerly Island in Chicago (formerly Meigs Field, it was an airport). I brazed the frame/fork and built the wheels. Drive train is SUNXCD 8Speed running on PhilWood hubs and Velo Orange PBP/RAID rims, Panaracer tires.”

We always love to see your photos and would like to show them to the world here on the Pic Of The Day. Send in your photo with a brief description here.

The weather looks very mild… Is not meant to be snowing/frozen? When is this picture taken?

That doesn’t look like Northerly Island in downtown Chicago to me. Too many hills and trees. Was it a mis-labeled photo or have I been away from Chicago too long?

That might be a northerly island, but not in Chicago. Nice ride however, or wherever it may be!

Indeed it is Northerly Island and was just reopened to the public (back in August/September) after a year or so of renovation. This picture was taken December 12th where temperatures approached 60 degrees! (http://ridewithgps.com/trips/7306334) Thanks for the kind words everyone.

To all people doubting this is northerly island in chicago, it likely is.

There has been a lot of development there in the past few years, check out recent photos
