Happy Earth Day, please enjoy these extremely metal Rogers Park bird murals speaking to the importance of treasuring our little blue marble

Putting world champion cyclist Peter Sagan against a grandma up a steep hill with her ebike? Now that's some good bike marketing I can get behind for this Earth Day

A planet worth protecting. Happy Earth Day

Trains won’t get you to the Moon. But here on Earth, they are the key to a brighter future for humanity. Happy Earth Day, everyone. #EarthDay2026

I remember seeing that Mickey shaped solar array years ago and feeling a deep hell yeah

Oh my god this image finally loads, we're so back 😂

I love that the dystopian tech horrors I read about in fiction during high school are coming true. Cyberpunk of the past is today's present.

Add our flag was still there

Just a nice spring bike ride down Leland and through the new diverter on the single speed, with a sprinkle of rain. There's lots of folks out riding in Chicago today!

Welcome to the flooded future, Chicago. Brought to you by burning fossil fuels. But we have the tools to change, and stop making the crisis worse - from heat pumps to ebikes, induction stoves to EVs, we don't need to do things the way we always have.

Can't believe I'm only now getting recommended this comedy masterpiece by @nerd4cities.bsky.social, showing just how much Las Vegas cares about pedestrians 🤗 (I wonder if he ever got to cross, or if he finished Infinite Jest instead)

Cracking open a cold one with the boys (Lil Light, Big Softy, and Jimmy Wide Lens)

A family shouldn't need to hold a march to get police to find the driver who killed them. We must to treat traffic violence with the seriousness it deserves. “To the person who did this: you made a choice. You left her there. You ran. And we will not stop fighting until you are found.”

Tall children have a biological advantage in basketball & should be banned from playing high-school ball. It's not fair to the other students.

In Chicago you can drop a pin on this map to request a bike rack bikeparking-chicago.hub.arcgis.com It made me so happy to see a family use this rack I requested for the first time 🥹

I'm just going to say that I wish R&M luck, but I think it's shortsighted to pull their business from the US marketplace. Our active infrastructure is improving and people are waking up to mobility change. The quality companies that solidify their presence now will eventually thrive here.

Here’s your “relief at the pump”

I saw the oil price jump and this article just an hour apart from each other. Even if the Strait fully and permanently reopened today, gas prices are going to be elevated for a while. It's a great time to talk to your friends and family about alternatives.

@thewaroncars.bsky.social Wow… this really cuts to the heart of a great deal of things

The real war on Christmas is climate change send tweet

Update: Booked my first weekend car rental of they year (Sat. & Sun.) and cost me $305, less than than the average American pays for a month of gas + insurance. Bikes save you money, and you can still get access to a car when you need or want one!

I've rented EVs exclusively since I got my license, and have gotten 3 Teslas, a Kia Niro EV, and a Chevy Bolt. All great, but Tesla was definitely the easiest for a long trip (fastest charging, easiest to find for new electric drivers). But these days there's a lot more charging and better cars!

I'm looking at car rentals, and I love that because American's are scared of charging, even a luxury EV is cheaper than a "Standard SUV". But the insurance will get you on those 😂

We're going to be working on a video about cargo ebikes as a car alternative in this moment of high gas prices - what questions or topics should we make sure to hit? 👀

people get hella mad when you say adult drivers should be more responsible than children on our streets.

Riffing on this: if you assume your neighbor’s house would become an 8-flat the moment it hits the market, you’re implicitly concurring that the housing shortage is real and that your local municipality is actively suppressing the market through restrictive zoning

I have more to say about our cargo bike test ride event but one thing for sure is that a bike/e-bike/cargo bike subsidy program here would be VERY popular

Love to see other countries going electric, including Ethopia! The video even mentions that a whopping 97% of their electricity comes from hydro, so that's basically all green electricity - no pollution, no pain at the pump from the war in Iran.

Our first tile microscope…hoping for many more.

In case you missed it: just a few days ago we launched something new - ChiWhoBike memberships, on YouTube! We've been working on Chicagoans Who Bike for two years, including getting all our gear, giving away bikes, interviewing nearly a hundred Chicagoans around the city, plus...

Bespoke websites are incredible - I wanted to know if the strait is open, and people have made websites just for that! Props to openthestrait.com especially for being funny as hell

I really need someone to make an "Is The Strait Open" website, because I'm trying to make videos and the whiplash is getting exhausting 🫠

This design is 10000x better than an on-street painted bike lane and a poorly maintained sidewalk. In rural and suburban contexts with few pedestrians, it's ok for bikes and peds to share space.

I love that bus drivers also hate lower Wacker 😆

You will never see the real New York (or any city) from the windows of a car. You'll think you have, but you'll have only experienced a guarded, limited, and shallow perspective, detached from the people and life of it all

Let's build more housing, so working people, young people, the elderly, and more can continue to live in Chicago and the region without fighting impossible rents. Tell your legislator to support the BUILD plan!

Why can America not get fun small cars 😭 I saw the ID3 a bunch in the Netherlands - just a cheap lil EV. USA? Not a peep (and shout out @bobbyllew.bsky.social for the great highlights)

My unpopular (joke) take is the city should hire teens to enforce traffic laws - pay local teens to be stationed at random lights and stop signs and print tickets for failure to stop, signal, or being on a phone. Free money, improved road safety, and a youth jobs program 💪🏻

Getting into video won't solve your problems, but I'm pretty sure a massive softbox can. My brain feels fuzzy and warm like it's the sun 😂

Bicycles Deliver the Freedom that Auto Ads Promise

I came across a family of great horned owls in Chicago (at an undisclosed location). They were being harrassed by crows and a Cooper's hawk. I sure hope they don't eat any poisoned rats!

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...

Not gonna lie, having lights is fun

As a Hungarian-American, I am so glad Viktor Orbán is out, so that I can monopolize the Viktor market, but also Americans have no idea how funny Péter Magyar is as a name. Magyar literally means "Hungarian" (the country is Magyarország in Hungarian), so it's like if we had President Joe American.

🚨 It’s Housing Lobby Day! 🚨 Today, we woke up, hopped on Amtrak, and made the trek down to Springfield to meet directly with our elected officials. 🤝 We’re making sure legislators hear loud and clear that abundant, affordable housing is a top priority for Illinois residents. 🏘️

Divvy recap for the first 3 months of 2026 🚲 • 799K total rides (11.7% higher than Q1 2025) • 444K e-bike trips (19.7% higher than Q1 2025) • 48 new and upgraded stations where riders need them Strong start to the year!

Imagine if every region in the US had high speed reliable hourly (at a minimum) train service. Climate impact and economic savings of replacing short flights and car trips with rail would be enormous.

The power of the sun... in the palm of my hand (I bought my first video light)
