  4. We are hosting a vigil and bike jam for Riley O’Neil - an CDOT Complete Streets team member killed by two motorists on Halsted St in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago riding his bike in a unprotected bike lane.

    It will be on Monday, 6/8 at 7pm. Palmissano Park (Fitness Course; across from McGuane Park's playground)

  5. After some backlash, the plan for the Wellington Greenway has been modified in a way that will increase the danger for west-bound cyclists. Oakdale & Halsted is an unsignaled intersection with an awkward geometry. I can guarantee that drivers on Halsted will not stop for you. #bikechi 🧵

  6. The new Grace Street greenway has made the westbound bike from Southport through Ashland between Roscoe and Berteau so much better. Almost like a… grid?

  7. We have a whole back catalog of interviews on our YouTube channel and our website, so we wanted to highlight one for the current moment - a Chicago dad living with a cargo ebike and no driver's license, and loving it! #bikechi

  8. If you're looking to bike an absurd distance to SEPA #5 to see it NOT FLOWING, I regret to inform you this was the last day. Starting tomorrow, per the manager, it'll be flowing. Still, it was a gorgeous day. #cycling #bikechi #chicago

  13. Email your State Reps. to let them know what bills you want to them to support and oppose this legislative session! With City Council lagging in creating safe streets, this is the best way to improve conditions for Chicagoans and all Illinoisans. #bikechi #chicago #activetravel

  14. I'm trying to find a good 4-5 day bike ride for summer, centered on Chicago. I have a 400mi budget. Looking at (1) Chi->Davenport (IA) (via Starved Rock) and back (via Dixon); (2) Chi->Peoria->Normal-Back; or (3) Chi->Muskegon->Ferry->Milwaukee-back. Any other suggestions? #bikechi #chicago #cycling

  15. It's that special time of year. ... when I realize I'm THIS close to beating my bike mileage total from last year, and scheme how to get in another 89 miles this month. #bikechi #cycling

  16. There is a meeting tomorrow for the Humboldt park North Ave streetscape project. 6pm-8pm at Mercado del Pueblo. Tell them you want bike/bus/ped infrastructure! #bikechi www.chicago.gov/city/en/site...

  17. Consider leaving a comment and attending this virtual meeting to support improved pedestrian access and protected bike lanes on the southwest side. These streets are some of the most dangerous in the entire city and the planning for this project has already taken several years as we face more fatalities and serious injuries every year. Join us virtually Nov 25 at 6p.

  23. I've plotted my top recommended bike routes starting at the south end of the Lakefront Trail in Chicago to make it easier to share some of my favorite routes! They all basically work in reverse, but I've also tried to include train connections at the ends. All have detailed notes. #bikechi

  24. I went out for a post-sunset ride to Gary last night. The lakefront, under the last glimmers of sunset, was bustling. After that it got very peaceful and the temperature was just perfect. #bikechi #cycling #photography #NightPhotography #chicago
