If you appreciate what we do and are able to send us a few bucks, it helps us print materials like those stickers that go right back into the community or purchase vests for our marshals. We have not taken a donation in over *two years.* Eventually, those funds are depleted. Our link is below.

We're looking for any picnic benches or seating you may no longer need. They'll be temporarily relocated to the Cortland Bridge. We can pick them up from you, and we'll give them a fresh coat of paint. Any lead is appreciated.

We like AT-Proto here. Can we build it into our website so each time an event is posted, it knows to post to Corkboard?

Sam Nugent hosted a public meeting where she bragged about receiving state money to complete this. The state appropriated $200,000 for the construction of this bike lane which will make it harder to remove.

Two more classes will be offered in November (virtual + in person) and December (in-person only). Exact dates and time TBA.

Got a beautiful view of ChicagoHenge on @bikegridnow.org Jamapalooza bicycle ride last night.

Yesterday was @bikegridnow.org's annual jamapalooza, celebrating World Car-Free Day, advocating for safer streets, and honoring those killed biking on Chicago streets in 2026.

The "bike bus" idea is simple: Once a week, a group of kids and parents bike to school together. It's an idea being embraced in neighborhoods around Chicago as a way to socialize and push back against car-centric culture, parents say.

Some quick snaps from the @bikegridnow.org jam-a-palooza - together, we're strong!
