With gas prices soaring, some people might search for cheaper transportation options. In many cites, a bicycle is a cheap and easy way to get around gas free. Give it a try.

Great story, thanks, not sure how I missed it. Beavers also absolutely decimated trees along the east bank of the Lincoln Park North Pond, years ago. Not sure if they were killed or relocated but they were not welcomed there, either ☹️

Very cool reel, thanks! I’ve only seen a beaver there once, late at night, never in the day. Sadly the one at :13 looks like he may have eye issues but seems to be managing OK

I don’t remember seeing Robert’s story but they seem to protect the beavers at the Nature BW, have even put up fencing at one time (blocking human pedestrian access lol) to give them free passage to a wooded area

The beaver lodge at the Nature Boardwalk has survived the winter, I just spent way too much time reading about the residents AMA

Oh I just noticed that Drafts are an option on BlueSky, I can build a lineup of brilliant thoughts I’m not sure the world is ready to hear quite yet

I’d live here, in a unit with a balcony, only downside is distance from a train line
