Twitter feed offers latest news on Lakefront Trail

Jun 26, 2012 | by Active Trans

Certainly a sensible thing to do, but what if instead of the Edens or the Jane Addams your commute follows Chicago's Lakefront Trail? Where do you turn for up-to-date conditions?

The feed reports on everything from wind speed/direction and path conditions to slowdowns caused by additional grounds crews and the availability of facilities.
