A Chicago writer traveled across COVID country USA, following the fabled Route 66. On his bicycle

CHICAGO — What sort of person decides, standing in a foot of Chicago snow in February, that it would be a good idea to ride a bike from Chicago to the West Coast, following the storied Route 66?

Michael Sean Comerford is that sort of person and he is not, of course, the first person drawn to that byway, often called the “Mother Road” or “America’s Main Street.”

Not long ago I told you about former Tribune photographer Wes Pope who took to that road with a pinhole camera and gave us a book about it, 2018′s “Pop 66: A Dreamy Pop Can-Camera Odyssey Along Route 66” (Press Syndication Group).
