Tucked into a #Chicago citywide poll posted on @capitolfax.bsky.social this week: bike taxes! The idea is 12 points underwater, but that’s too close for comfort. Call your alders, #bikechi! #NoBikeTax! CC @andrefor40th.bsky.social @bikegridnow.org @bscactionfund.org

This is why bike advocacy and political giving matters. Don’t Ontario my Illinois. #ElectBikeChampions
