Thanks to every Bike Sock that rolled with us or showed up at the racks this year. That’s it for lakefront rides. We’ve got one more family ride and tailgate this Sunday, hope to see you there!

hold on, HOW DID HE GET TO CLASS!?

When Alonso first got to campus, he would bike to class. But then the bike was stolen or it broke — Reed can’t remember which — and Alonso acquired a long skateboard to ride around. The craze caught hold in the Gators’ locker room — first Reed, then a few others, then a few more. “He got us started,” Reed said. “Pete being Pete.”

We don’t leave the streets up to the adjacent property owner to shovel — we plow them.

Send an email to your leaders and let them know it’s time we #PlowTheSidewalks too!

If you live or travel through Brighton Park on Archer, please let alderwoman Julia Ramirez know that this safety improvement is appreciated. Urge her to stick to her guns. The opposition is small but very loud.

CBS just produced an extremely one-sided report on the Archer Complete streets project, repeatedly calling the project "reducing Archer Avenue from 4 lanes to 2" for bike lanes, when it's really a 4 -> 3 conversion to make the street safer for all users. What are your thoughts on this segment?

For all your winter storm lakefront trail status needs, follow the @lakefronttrail.bsky.social status bot.

Help out by using #chiLFT to report trail conditions and remember that the Park District tends not to post trail closures or block unsafe trail sections until after the morning commute

When we created this ride, it was supposed to be a joyous celebration of community. Since then kidnappings have increased substantially and vendors are terrified. We will not back down and our ride will continue in a way that keeps vendors safe. We take care of us. ✊🏽
