Commissioner of Chicago’s Department of Transportation – aka the Bike Czar – Gabe Klein stops by Eight Forty-Eight Wednesday morning to chat with Tony Sarabia about planes, trains and automobiles. And bike lanes. And buses.

Then, GrubStreet Editor Michael Gebert joins WBEZ food blogger Louisa Chu in a conversation about food-driven travel across the Midwest, from Kenosha to the Illinois Rail Museum.

Sound Opinions co-host Jim DeRogatis also stops by to talk about the musical offerings at the Taste of Chicago and at Pitchfork.
