Downtown Chicago on the Dan Ryan: Bad place for a motorbike breakdown

Jun 28, 2016

Enter self-described “Johnny Be Good,” or the Youtube nom de plume of a fashion behind the JBG Travels channel. Mr. Be Good captured this recent moment on his dashcam, an instance that gives new meaning to the good samaritan phrase.

When a motorcyclist broken down/stalled on I-90/94 in Chicago just ahead of the 18th Street exit needed a way to get her vehicle to the apron Johnny Be Good was more than happy to offer “a little cover,” as he puts it toward the end of the dashcam clip, blocking traffic so she could push the bike out of continuing traffic. “I guess that’s all I could do.”
