We heard about 18th & Wabash, a brand new protected intersection planned to help keep people biking and walking safe, so we trekked out in the cold after some snow, just in time to film it before it was partially rolled back. So what's all the fuss about? www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpKJ...

Some next-level trolling of the anti-Archer Safe Streets project crowd going on right now: Listen to the audio playing on a bicycle trailer next to them. 👸 🚲 @chicritmass.bsky.social @bikegridnow.org

Opposition continues. Please message the 12th Ward office stating your support for this project! [email protected]

A fun @bikegridnow.org JAMAPALOOZA bicycle ride tonight thru the streets of #Chicago Thanks!

Your nearest bike bus is leaving in one minute

This is such a crazy way to describe safety advocacy groups like hey bro you're being REALLY aggressive right now about not getting hit by cars

Put "well-organized and often aggressive" on our tombstone www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/24/m...

Bring your lights and make sure you get here so we can do a special thing 👀. Already downtown? Meet our organizers at Daley Plaza (Picasso Statue) starting at 5:30!

And one more e-bike-a-palooza recap clip today - this time with Alyssa from @bikegridnow.org talking about building a connected network of safe streets, and the upcoming jamapalooza this coming Wednesday, Sept. 24th!

Check out this post and replies for more details on their upcoming event! bsky.app/profile/bike...

Our ebike palooza was a huge success! We got dozens of people test riding different ebikes and micromobility, from families to commuters to everyone in between, and even got @andrefor40th.bsky.social in an Urban Arrow! We hope to see more of y'all out there on bikes out in Chicago 🥰

Come say hi to us!

Calling on all Chicago bikers! A beloved member of the Chicago bike community (and a Femmes + Thems core organizer) took a spill at Critical Mass on Friday and was badly injured. Because both of their arms are broken, they are not able to do most self care tasks, let alone work.

I emailed [email protected] (Bike Grid Now has a typo, edit button when???) and will post what I wrote below for those who would like to copy and paste or have some inspo:

ACTION ALERT 🚨 Ald. Martin (47) is hosting a hearing at the Committee on Public Safety on Thursday, September 3rd at 10:30a. With the 8th and 19th Police District Councilors, there is a proposal to direct all 911 parking violation (PVs) calls to the Department of Finance rather than CPD (1/4).
