If his hostility and contempt for human beings trying to find happiness isn't enough, Chicago remembers Rahm Emanuel for covering up a police murder, closing 50 public schools, and listening to Nickelback.
Safe Streets is the new puritanism, totally agree. Listen— cars murder and fuck up the environment and you need to stop making excuses for that.
Can't wait for this at Pratt over thr channel... in a decade

This young bicyclist was killed by a driver early Sunday morning in Chicago, and his family has started a gofundme. Donate if you have the means.

BGN spotted at the @thewaroncars.bsky.social. The city is only liable to you if you're on a designated bike route. The network is inconsistently connected/inequitably distributed making a full biking trip nearly impossible. See the problem? GL if you get hit on any other road says the city ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In which the Chicago police dept superintendent gets the law wrong, lectures Chicagoans about showing him respect, and ultimately says CPD will do nothing even if they observe ICE/CBP breaking our laws.

It looks like this stretch of Clark south of Grand is due for Arterial Resurfacing next year. We need to pressure CDOT and Reilly to extend the PBL and connect the network.
New Video: How Chicago Bikeshare Works & Grows!
Chicagoans took a record 6.8 million trips on Divvy in 2025, and it's still growing!
Watch our new video going behind-the-scenes on a new electric station going in, and talking to two of the leaders who make Divvy work and grow.
I'm gonna go ahead and make this about "my thing" and say that a cool way to let kids be kids would be to create safer streets that allow them to do ride bikes and run around and do kid stuff without worried about being crushed by a car. No one ever talks about that though.
NEW: After we documented children crawling through trains to get to school, the mayor of Hammond, Indiana, said train company Norfolk Southern pledged to help fund an overpass. Now the project is dead after the company reneged, he says.
Norfolk Southern denies making a commitment.
DO NOT:
- Say anything at all in the back of a squad car. There’s a camera + mic up by the rearview mirror.
- Say anything in your holding cell.
- Chitchat with the police. Small talk is a tool they use to get people talking and off their guard.
- Leave your tattoos uncovered when doing crime.

Bike Grid Now Applauds Introduction of Landmark Legislation to Advance Regional Safe Cycling Network Chicago, Bike Grid Now! is pleased to announce the introduction of new state legislation to lay the groundwork for a comprehensive regional bike grid. The bill SB3478, introduced by Illinois State Senator Mike Simmons (IL-07), amends the Illinois Highway Code to direct the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) to develop a blueprint for a bike and pedestrian-prioritized street network including 450 miles of safe, slow streets in Chicago with additional infrastructure in bordering municipalities. The proposed Safe Cycling Network Plan would prioritize connections between community areas, retail corridors, major attractions, institutions, as well as existing and planned infrastructure to create a cohesive system for all ages and abilities across 10% of city streets and neighboring suburbs. Under the proposed framework, at least 35% of the network would be located in community areas experiencing economic hardship,1 with additional prioritization given to high-crash corridors and areas lacking existing safe streets infrastructure. “We know how dangerous and inequitable a patchwork system is,” said Bike Grid Now organizer Nik Hunder. “Fragmentation means cyclists, pedestrians, and people on scooters or other micromobility devices are forced to navigate life-threatening gaps in protective road treatments that are not equitably distributed economically and racially across the city. It’s time to make our streets safer for all Chicagoans – not just those in the most privileged and politically responsive neighborhoods.” The benefi ts also reach across the state. Safer city roads drive state-wide economic growth, advance environmental goals, boost tourism, and decrease costs associated with traffi c crashes and deaths. State legislators leading on this issue understand that strategic investment in urban infrastructure is a life-saving measure that supports the intere…
HUGE NEWS. We have a state bill; SB3478 - SCA1. Under the bill, CMAP will develop a blueprint for a bike and pedestrian-prioritized street network including 450 miles of safe, slow streets in Chicago and surrounding communities. WE NEED YOU TO SUBMIT WITNESS SLIPS. ilga.gov/Senate/heari... (1/3)
We need Illinois folks to RE-FILE WITNESS SLIPS opposing this awful legislation.
IF YOU ALREADY FILED, PLEASE DO SO AGAIN.

Frick yeah, gimme points for putting away ebikes!
Today CDOT and our counterparts in San Francisco & DC sent a joint letter to Lyft calling for a Bike Angels program that actually works in hybrid systems.
The current version is built for fully docked systems like Citi Bike in NYC. Our hybrid systems don’t get the same benefits. 🧵

The city was notified of the temperature considerations but decided to go through with the closure and sweep today regardless.
These sweeps destroy communities formed out of necessity and just pushes park residents to other nearby parks without addressing any underlying issues.
These people, led by @carlosrosa.bsky.social, are despicable.
