I wanted to petition my block for speed bumps since there’s a playlot on the street, but apparently there was a very dramatic failed attempt 3 years ago (before I lived here). My alder’s chief of staff said he’d look into signs, and this morning they appeared!

Is there a single thing Wags is good on?!?!???!

Wear a helmet if you want, but my question always is: What is protecting your eyes, teeth, neck, spine, heart, lungs, spleen, arms, hands, legs and feet? Only safer, physical infrastructure barriers can do that

I hit 100 miles for the month of May on my way to work this morning!

What on earth 😅

Come for the Divvy station, stay for that stunner of a building across the street

Good morning to everyone, especially the driver revving their engine behind me on a narrow one-way street for the single block our commutes happened to overlap. Have the day you deserve!

I biked to work three days this week, for a total of 45 miles 💪🏻 We’ve got to do something to connect the Loop to the LFT. It’s the most terrifying part of my ride, and it’s less than 1/2 a mile.

Downtown Elgin is cool and could be even cooler with fewer parking lots. I lived there car-light for 6 months last year and commuted to the Loop. There’s a grocery store super close to the downtown stretch, and it’s a pretty easy town to bike in (with direct access to the Fox River trail!).

Seems like my commute home will be… damp.

My bike commute was absolutely gorgeous. I chatted with a fellow cyclist at a stoplight. Everything is terrible, but riding my bike is decidedly not!

I’d ride Lincoln if all of it was like this 🤩

Yeah I’m an urban elite, suburbs suck ass

I love that my entire feed is people posting about the sign being removed from the Lincoln Square bike lane.

Perfect, because I almost got hit on my bike at this stop sign by two impatient drivers yesterday!

come on kids, get off screens and go outside! get off the road it's for cars don't ride your bike on the sidewalk you'll hurt someone take your headphones off it's dangerous stop being so loud you're disturbing people don't just loiter around go to the park but calm down there's little ones

If you just got hit on your bike on Damen at Elston/Fullerton, my in-laws saw the whole thing. Let me know if you need them, and I hope you’re OK!

👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Boooooooooo

Had a bit of bike trouble on my way in this morning. I’m shaken up, but I made it all the way to work, and my bike appears to be fine. At least it was a glorious morning for a ride!

My Red line train skipped Monroe this morning. It went straight from Lake to Jackson. Maybe there was an explanation/warning I missed because I had headphones on, but everyone seemed very confused disembarking at Jackson.

Noah Kahan completely rips off Petey on his new album. He’s always been a hacky snooze, but this is straight up plagiarism.

Home > school drop off > compost drop off > photo prints pickup > home Round trip in under 20 minutes and less than a half mile of walking. I love my 15-minute neighborhood!

The ride to work: - sunny - calm - had to shed layers along the way The ride home: - cold and cloudy - northerly headwind that had some people bailing - regretted not wearing socks

Someone else biked to the pediatrician!

First bike commute of 2026 in the bag. Just one block of bike lane randomly closed with no detour and only 2 miles of light but persistent mist. It was surprisingly clear by the time I got to the lake!

We biked to baseball complete with two oversize camping chairs, snacks, and all his gear. Cargo bikes!!

Chicago friends, where can I bike from Lakeview for lunch alone that has 1) a patio and 2) sparkling wine? I have unexpectedly found myself with a kid-free day off.

And I passed all of them on a Divvy 💅🏻

This is so Wes Anderson, I can almost hear the affectless Jason Schwartzmann voiceover saying "My mother used to design undercover disguises for the Stasi"

This endangers people on bikes = “silly argument”

My son keeps telling me how excited he is to ride on our cargo bike together after we pick it up from winter storage on Friday 🥹

77 is atrocious this morning. I saw 3 buses go by as I walked to my stop and then waited almost 20 minutes for the next one.

My kid’s bike is now too large to sketchily strap to the large basket on the front of my RadWagon4. @lauragmitchell.com do you think the Bunch haul straps would work to attach it to the caboose so I can tow it on its back wheel next to/behind me? Would appreciate the advice if you have time!

Is this the same red Ford pickup truck driver that hit a woman twice at Belmont and Pulaski in December? Or just a horrible coincidence. youtu.be/G3OiOQ1-N7c

Picking my cargo bike up on Friday after what felt like forever in winter storage (never again). I’m so excited. The shop put hydraulic brakes on while it was there!

😭 it’s so beautiful
