I biked in this

News is especially grim today—last night was a reminder that community is important and powerful.

Well done

Cool outfits, fun people, and warm temps (60 degrees!!!) at the February @chicritmass.bsky.social. Ahleli in leopard print, Marcus in a cool repurposed hat, @baileysanz.bsky.social in low-key chic, and @jgfromnp.bsky.social in work gear (with a @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social jacket).

All the time.

Of course.

I didn’t realize a member of the US Olympic hockey team had been killed by a driver while biking. Teared up during that tribute.

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

The owner of this Deplorean decided they had to park illegally and halfway on the pavement even though there was a legal space literally 20 feet behind them

Fun Coffee Outside meetup at Clark Park. Beautiful weather—there were even kayakers in the river.

Some recent biking looks. Sometimes it’s all about the accessories.

“Here’s why this outfit works.” Ummm the person is tall and thin, they would look good in a paper bag.

I think she's afraid. The way she's lashing out, the 9th grade retorts. She doesn't seem confident to me at all.

Wheeeeeee

A bit of a thaw, finally! Took the Raleigh out for a spin and errands. This sweater is about 40 years old—I got it in high school 👵🏼. Esprit was really made to last.

Fucking depressing.

Has anyone come across nice one-page flyer or handout with info about biking with kids? #BikeSky

sure!

Gauging interest in an I Biked in This newsletter talking about biking in style (duh) but also adjacent topics, like outdoorsy stuff, low-impact transportation, cool clothes, and whatever else interests me under this (large) umbrella.

It's just the reflection!

Photo of me, a woman, in a black sweater with orange sleeves with a textured black sweater vest over it and blue pants next to a blue bike with an orange down coat hanging from the handlebars. Snow on the ground.

Sweater vest over a sweater! 21 degrees. Not bad except my face did get kinda cold.

Biked again after a few weeks of snowy/icy roads and extreme cold! 21 degrees. No cute outfit (I went to the gym) but I hope to have some looks to post soon!

Yellow text on black background wear what you want ride what you want - that’s all there is to it

There can be some gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules: Wear what you want. Ride what you want and don't let anyone tell you differently

Here’s How Many ICE and CBP Agents Allegedly Preyed on Children Apparently the institutions are riddled with accused sex criminals.

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years.

At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years.

This article includes names of the agents.

CHICAGO MEMORIAL & PROTEST RIDE FOR ALEX PRETTI Walsh Park (Eastern end of the 606) 1/31, roll at 1:30 PM

My family tells me they worry about me riding at night. I always say, "Don't worry, I've been almost hit way more times in broad daylight!"

Hey Chicago cyclists: we got an ask for squeezable water bottles for eye wash in the Twin Cities and I bet those plastic ones you seem to accumulate at races would be perfect. DM me for a drop-off address (Albany Park) or possible shipping details if you have a large quantity
