Be careful getting a cargo bike, you might start hauling around a portable induction grilling setup just because you can #bikechi

I've said it before and I'll say it again: buying a bike has been the single biggest pro-social decision I've made in my 20s. I should've bought a bike as soon as I moved to Chicago, really. Everything said here resonates. Great interview, very well put, @crookedcourses!
“If I had known that the way to make friends in your twenties is to buy a bike and go to rides, then I would've bought one five years ago. I've made so many amazing friends. I've gone on so many incredible rides. I've learned so much about myself, about other people. . . ” 🧵

ALT A young woman stands smiling with her bike in a park overlooking part of the river. The woman is wearing a red long sleeved shirt and blue jeans with brown sneakers, and has light skin, long dark brown hair, and circular glasses. Her bike is a blueish green Reid hybrid bike with disk brakes, a black metal basket on the front handlebars, and a cargo rack on the back., and there are some dry brown leaves on the grassy ground by the bike.
So it turns out biking in NYC is actually quite good and felt safer than Chicago 90% of the time, why did nobody tell me this
And I saw so many people just out riding way more casually, and even spotted a @TheWarOnCars sticker on a family cargo bike 🥺
Oh look, I recognize that bike!
Oh hey, it's #MuralMonday! We love seeing where your Tern takes you to explore your city and the art you find along the way.
Tag us in photos of your Tern in front of a local mural!!

Chicago has a lot to learn from European cities, but just look at New York City - they've got Divvy docks that would eat ours for breakfast, and even protected bike storage

This morning we were featured on @WGNMorningNews, where we talked about how the project got started, featured three of our amazing interviewees, and talked about how the city could improve bike safety!

I live literally one block away from here, and this is just silly.
1. It's not sleepy, it's got constant car traffic
2. The pedestrian improvements are badly needed. I was once going to the quoted ice cream spot, using a crosswalk, and got cursed out by a driver
Hey @BlockClubCHI. I love you. Really truly. Can we stop pushing this tired and disproved narrative?

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of the launch of Chicagoans Who Bike, and it's been an amazing year, with 60 interviews all around the city, with folks young and old riding all types of bikes!
A huge thank you to all our interviewees for telling us their stories.🧵
I'm working on editing some clips and cleaning up some photos, but yesterday was a great @ChiCritMass!
If you got a @chiwhobike sticker from me, I probably have a photo for you! 🧵
I also got footage of what happens when an emergency vehicle needs to pass through - everyone communicates and clears the way so they can pass through!
And thank you to the always incredible @chiyclist for being my driver for the evening!
I only got these incredible shots because I was able to just relax and stick my camera out in danger 😂

happy year 1 to this awesome bike photo/video project, @chiwhobike, created by @viktor_koves! I chatted with the creator about the project's success, the launch of more immersive video content & how it's helping cyclists and drivers connect. #bikechi blockclubchicago.org/2024/09…
