They make this handy gadget on a bike, you squeeze it and the bike slows down. If you are approaching a static object(even if they are in the wrong), slowing your bike could possibly save your life.

How about when you come around a blind corner in the Ravines at 22 miles per hour there's suddenly an Amazon truck right in front of you?

Slow down? Anticipate the possibility of an object?

nothing says punk like becoming a prosecutor

also, why do all you suburban punk rockers try to use our chicago flag as your symbol. I'm sure Evanston has a totally rad flag.

I would never have screamed out Devo at you, Joe, even if I had been old enough at the time.

He was also wounded at the Highland Park parade shooting.

Kezdy and his wife were sitting on a bench at the 2022 Highland Park Independence Day parade when the shooting began. Kezdy’s arm was struck by a bullet that had ricocheted, and his wife was strafed with hundreds of tiny pieces of shrapnel. The couple fled the scene and drove to Evanston Hospital, his wife said. The bullet worked its way out of Kezdy’s arm about a month after the parade, his wife said.

Good memory! His name didn't ring a bell so between that and his age I'm guessing he was a year ahead of me.
