How are we supposed to build the bike grid under these conditions? Tell CMAP to be serious here: forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/Respon...

Get ready to ROLL because we've partnered with @femnthembikechi.bsky.social and @chicagostars.com to bike bus our way up to Martin Field for their Pride Night vs Bay FC. We've got free beer from Revolution and discounted tickets courtesy of the Stars ($27 + fees). Get yours at bit.ly/BGN-TIX

Join us on Monday! Monday! Monday!

We spoke with the 48th Ward. The geofencing only applies to Divvy and Lime scooters. It does not currently apply to Divvy e-bikes.

We need your help and feedback. The next time you ride on any part of the Lakefront Trail between Museum Campus and Jackson Park, send us a dashcam-style video for an upcoming project. Let us know you're able to help out via a DM or at grassroots@bikegridnow.org.

Join us for a marshal training at Union Park! Come out on Thursday, August 6th and we’ll teach you how to lead a group ride, cork, and de-escalate safely with drivers. 📍 Union Park (NE corner of Ashland/Washington) ⏰ Thursday, August 6th from 6:30-8pm

We are SO tired of being hit on Lincoln Ave so we're jamming. The NW side has Milwaukee, the SW side has Archer, and the West side is getting Ogden. We want the same for Lincoln Ave, which CDOT is not maintaining. 📍 Oz Park (Lincoln/Larrabee/Webster) ⏰ Monday 7/27, 6:30 meet, 6:45 roll

Want to get involved? Want to get re-engaged? Come to our State of the Grid to learn what we got up to this past year, where we're headed, and how you get involved (whether you have an hour to give or ten)! 📍 Beermiscuous (2812 N Lincoln) or online at bit.ly/bike-grid-zoom ⏰ August 5-8:30ish

ACTION ALERT: Please attend the 19th Police District's monthly meeting to learn more about where the RRPEA pilot stands and how you can help. If CPD isn't going to enforce traffic laws to keep us safe, we need citywide programs that let us help keep us safe. 📍4501 N Clarendon ⏰ Weds July 29th 6:30p

Could have built a bike grid by now if CPD could control it's conduct

One of our marshals had their bike stolen at Leavitt/Cermak today. The bike says "scourer" and has cork handles; it's one of a kind. They have a small reward if you find it or the kindness of your heart will do. Throw a lock on it + get in touch with us somehow and we'll get it back to them.

Alders want to be able to show there is community support. If you are an 11th Ward resident, please take a moment to add yourself to Bridgeport Alliances' open letter to Alderwoman Lee activetrans.quorum.us/campaign/165...

Has a road near you been resurfaced, but the bike lane paint was not put back down? Is the paint fading in an existing lane? Let us know below or DM us. We've seen many examples of CDOT failing to replace paint in the 32nd, 40th, 47th, and 48th wards so far

Chicago has been putting off building a bike grid for over 14 years (since 1999, 27 years).

Divvy removed our Riley O'Neil stickers from his memorial station :/ The memorial station is on Washington at LaSalle if you want to put some back.

Public Meeting Alert: The 22nd, 24th, and 28th Wards are taking feedback on upgrades to Ogden Ave between Pulaski and Roosevelt to make it safer. Ogden is difficult to cross with excess lane capacity to dedicate toward bike-forward transport on this key diagonal street July 1st, 5pm, 3622 W Douglas

E-bike and e-cargo bike curious? The 40th Ward's annual bike-a-palooza is this Saturday, June 28th from 5-8p. You can test ride many types of cargo and e-bikes, get a safety check-up, and chat with advocates about achieving safe infrastructure. 📍 Welles Park (2333 W Sunnyside) ⏰ June 28th from 5-8p

One of our marshals is running a lakefront ride from North Ave Beach to the Baha'i Temple in Evanston. Join in on Saturday. Saturday June 27th, 1pm starting at Casaways Beach Club (1603 N DLSD) RSVP: getpie.app/plans/9a8de2...

We could be building the entire Bike Grid for less than this and it would produce more economic return
