A modern wind turbine offsets its entire lifecycle CO₂ footprint in 5–12 months. Financial payback is often around 6–12 years onshore & 10–15 years offshore, with operating lives of 20–30+ years. For wind, the carbon mortgage is usually measured in months. The carbon savings are measured in decades.

🚲 New Divvy record: 47,400 rides yesterday! The previous record (42,000 rides) was set just last Saturday. For context, there was only one day over 40,000 rides in all of 2025. Divvy has now had three in the last 8 days. Chicago keeps riding 🚀

Ald. Ray Lopez (15) says he witnessed a non-serious bike / car crash in Back of the Yards. Let's withhold judgement of his statement until we learn more about what happened.

The bike ride and “die-in” in memory of fallen Complete Streets Planner Riley O’Neil was a life-affirming event. "No more people should die in the streets because their lives are not valued as much as driver convenience," said one organizer.

More than 100 cyclists heaped flowers on a “ghost bike” memorial at the intersection of East Yesler Way and 12th Avenue South on Saturday afternoon to memorialize a Seattle teacher who was struck and killed while biking near the intersection.

I am remembering how two years ago a reckless driver destroyed a set of bike parking racks on S. Halsted just 1,300 ft. north of last night's fatal crash site. Tonight, we are calling these and other U-style racks "Riley Racks". We have known Halsted in Bridgeport is unsafe for many years.

Riley was killed by a driver yesterday while riding in a painted bike lane on Halsted in Bridgeport. My life was personally improved by some of the bike racks Riley installed despite never knowing him. Please drive safely & advocate for safer bike lanes. Paint is not protection.

TIL all Chicago Public Library cardholders get full access to the New York Times, including Games and Cooking. You have to create an account to redeem a code, and you have to refresh the code once per day, so it’s less convenient than paying. But it’s free!

Ellen Steinke's report on the recent Bronzeville Trail meeting got people jazzed about the elevated path. "I'm so excited to hear about this project!," wrote one reader. "Looking forward to ways we can get involved and help move it forward."
