Our penultimate Archer Ave. bike ride was a big hit—thanks in no small part to our friends @bikegridnow.org This Saturday (May 30) will be our ✨last✨ ride for the month. We’ll be back at McKinley Park for one final 10am bike ride (9:30am meetup). Hope to see you there!

Justice for Damien ride is today (5/26). 5:30 meet up, 6pm roll out from 55th/Artesian.

PRO- they use facts, figures,& data CON- we use vibes, feelings, & opinions throwing our support behind what our neighbours feel rather than look at the data, law, & understand Chicago bike lane construction sparks pushback, fuels political fights www.chicagotribune.com/2026/05/25/c...

The city is under the assumption that it needs to expand current infrastructure techniques to satisfy today's riders. This is incorrect. Even protected infrastructure on arterials will not make all potential users feel safe because they maintain a wide right of way with fast traveling vehicles.

Good bike infrastructure planning is when the bike lane has to close during a weekly special event. Famously, no one bikes to the farmers market. @anthonyjquezada.bsky.social

That insignia on the tarmac means “bike lane, unless a truck driver finds it convenient as a loading zone.” @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social @bikegridnow.org

POSTPONED DUE TO LIGHTINING/FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL

Check out our next Archer Ave. bike ride this Saturday! We’re kicking off from McKinley Park at 10am, and this week we’ll be joined by our friends @bikegridnow.org. They’ll share their vision for a *connected* grid of walkable, bikeable, rollable streets to keep our neighbors and families safe.

Our most ambitious video yet is now live! We talked to Mandalyn, owner of Chicago's Offbeat bikes, about all the details of getting started with an ebike, and how it can save you boat loads of money, and is a ton of fun. Send it to the friends and family you think should consider a cargo ebike!

Thanks for coming to our Wells-Wentworth Connector 5th birthday party. The connector wished for independence from its parents (CDOT) this year

There were credible threats to basic funding for biking and walking projects in the lead up to this bill and I'm very thankful that core funding for biking and walking is maintained The popular Safe Streets for All #SS4A program is also renewed But, climate and equity programs were repealed

Tonight we witnessed anti-safe-streets protestors on Grand Ave physically assault a cyclist, stepping out into the street, surrounding him, and laying their hands on him and threatening him. This is what alders are siding with when they consider caving into the demands of the status quo defenders.

Having a whack at the piñata at the party commemorating five years of the Wells-Wentworth Connector being built, with sidewalk-level bike lanes, but still not being open. Mayor Johnson, tear down this wall! #BikeChi 🚲🚲🚲 @bikegridnow.org @chicritmass.bsky.social

Rode the forbidden road

We just received this email regarding UIC obstructing bike lanes

Tune in :)

We tried to invite CDOT. No one from their office would come down to meet us.

Hurrah, the city is raising millions in revenue from an automated enforcement pilot! But, only in areas where the infrastructure violates NACTO best practices. Case in point: the Kinzie bike lane. michaelmclean.me/chicago-smar... Paint-only: $217,750 bike-lane fines. Concrete: 1 ticket, $250 fine

Thank you to the 60+ kids and many more parents who came out for the ride. We shall do it again.

We're back for the 3.9th annual AANHPI Ride for Solidarity with our friends at Family Style Run Club. We're riding from Ping Tom Park to Asia on Argyle. 8:45a Meet up 9:10a Departure from Ping Tom Park 9:45a Lincoln Park Zoo 11:00a Arrival at Asia on Argyle

A message from inside the Wells-Wentworth Connector

We stopped taking our bike bus through Halsted/Oakdale because of how dangerous and unsafe drivers behaved at this unsignaled intersection. This is a shameful capitulation by our Department of Transportation and failure of their duty to protect cyclists.

We’re marshalling Ravenswood Elementary’s first-ever bike bus. The bus is departing at 8:10a from Belle Plaine/Lakeview and arriving at the playground at 8:30a. See the flyer for the route and share with parents in the neighborhood Let us know you are coming: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Wow. Popular local cyclist trying to enjoy new infrastructure runs directly into unmarked pole in bike lane. Sad.

Decisions like these are why the city doesn't want you to be an intended user of anything that is not a bike lane

Action Alert #1 SB3336 aims to bring clarity and safety to our streets, bike lanes, and multiuse trails as new mobility modes increase in popularity. 👉 Illinois residents are encouraged to send an email to their State Rep asking them to support SB3336. ujoin.co/campaigns/44...

As we put it in our latest video: driving is one of the most dangerous things we do as Americans. This is a teaser of our full video on the Archer & Kedzie Ave safe streets project, where we talk about just how deadly American roads are, and how protected bike lanes make them safer for everyone!

Chicago's Archer Ave has been in the news a lot lately - so we went out in April to talk to some advocates who support the improvements, dive into the data behind the project (and safe streets in general), got comment from Alderwoman Ramirez, and a whole lot more!

Every Monday until bike lane morale improves

The flyer is correct, 10a-2p not 6-8 as the post text says.

Sounds like someone needs a bike grid now

Sweetie what's wrong? You were supposed to be open 5 years ago. Come celebrate our baby, the Wells-Wentworth Connector, going to Kindergarten. 📌 1700 S Wentworth ⏰ Sunday May 17th, 3:30-5:30ish

Want to help out with Bike Sox? We're looking for volunteers to help marshal (cork or caboose) our rides. Our route is pretty low key so this is a great way to get into marshaling. If you’re down to help, please fill out this short form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Boosts appreciated too.

Our swanky new website includes several enhancements that we think you’ll appreciate. 👉 Check it out and send along feedback and suggestions for further improvements. Thanks! www.rideillinois.org

IF YOU BUILD A BIKE LANE THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANOTHER BIKE LANE THEN YOU DIDN'T BUILD A BIKE LANE

Every Monday until bike lane morale improves

Everyone who lives near Grand Avenue knows that it's dangerous. Unfortunately, some business owners haven't gotten the message yet. We're hosting a counterprotest to their protest against the upcoming street safety improvements. Bring your homemade signs and a positive attitude!

This is not the e-bike bill, it's a different piece of legislation and these provisions were noted, objected to, and removed in an amendment a month and a half ago.

An excellent project to support. CWB makes some of the highest quality Chicago bicycling content

HumboldtTown Safe Streets tour with @nwnachicago.org @bikegridnow.org & Safer Grand yesterday. A great turnout & fun ride. #Chicago
