A digital graphic promoting the “Femmes + Thems Bike Chicago” event, which is a bike wash and ride on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at 1:30 PM. The event starts at Jennivee’s Bakery (2925 N Halsted St) and includes a 10-mile ride to The Recyclery (7628 N Paulina St), where participants will visit the FTWN-B shop and clean their bikes. The background is a mix of blue and orange with an illustration of a bicycle, soap bubbles, and a hand washing a sponge. The event’s Instagram handle, @femnthembikechi, is included.

Come join us for our April ride on SUNDAY, April 6th. It’s been a LONG winter & we KNOW your bikes could use a scrub a dub dub 🧼🛁🫧 This month, we’re ending at The Recyclery where they’ll host a women, trans, non-binary open shop & provide materials to give our bikes the wash they desperately need 🙏🏻

🚲 BIKES HAVE MADE IT TO Foro Mundial de la Bicicleta 12 and Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional on their 31st anniversary in Chiapas! Big thanks to Samuel for all his hard work, we are so proud to support these efforts to redistribute bikes as tools for self-determination

🌍 OUR COMMUNITY REACHES FAR AND WIDE! Chris Covert-Bowlds volunteered at Working Bikes a couple days when he was in Chicago earlier this year. He stopped by to see Village Bicycle Project in Ghana helping their team give out bikes to rural Ghanaian students! Thank you for the pictures!
