Straw hat Speedo guy
There are plenty of characters on the Lakefront Trail, but none with as much notoriety as this uber-tanned, lanky gentleman who can frequently be seen walking up and down the trail (typically between Oak Street Beach and Fullerton) wearing only a black Speedo, a floppy straw hat and a determined grin. Aside from just walking, he’s also seen working stretchy fitness bands into his workouts, attaching them to his ankles or stretching them above his head.
