Have a bike you don’t use anymore? Organizations like @WorkingBikes will fix up and relocate your two-wheeled friend to where it’s needed most. bit.ly/3GUFLy5

Wow. At long last, the NY Times places the US's abysmal record for road safety in international context.

Amsterdam airport police running after hundreds of climate activists blocking private jets while on bicycles is objectively funny nos.nl/l/2451147

The two 40-foot shipping containers were packed in the US, using a new technique that allows for more bikes to fit inside -nearly 1,000 bikes and hundreds of parts, tires and wheels. This much-needed inventory will help boost the enterprise at each location. @akphilanthropy

Ald. @Andrefor40th Vasquez is the first alderperson to arrive in costume — he's dressed as a @cta ghost train/bus & is asking his colleagues to support a measure requiring CTA President Dorval Carter to regularly appear before the City Council.

Elevate’s #ILSFA team led new & returning #Grassroots Educators on a tour of @WorkingBikes ! It was great to see ILSFA's work in action; lowering #energy costs at Working Bikes, allowing them to do more of their transportation justice work with the money saved!

Never forget, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. As for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. V/@StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/…

Just dropped off 50 sets of bike lights to Working Bikes. If you’ve ever purchased our bike lights from @WorkingBikes your purchase also paid for a set of lights for them to give away to someone that needs them.
