Chicagoans Who Bike
We were out last night and took some photos at the jam and vigil ride for Riley O'Neil (hosted by @bikegridnow.org), a CDOT employee who spent his life working to make biking safer in Chicago, and was killed in a crash in Bridgeport on Friday June, 5th.
Rest in Peace, Riley.
A ride and vigil honoring CDOT worker Riley O'Neil was held in Bridgeport. He died after being hit by a vehicle in an unprotected bike lane, the very kind he dedicated his career to replacing. Find this story on CBSChicago.com.
I LOVE this. Just be a regular person on a bike. You don't have to do it for exercise--you certainly don't need to count miles or calories expended. Use a bike to get places. Find the routes that make you feel comfortable. Find a bike that makes whatever you're doing easy. Have fun.

We've added a photo of Traffic Safety Chair Ald. Daniel La Spata by @chiwho.bike's Viktor Köves, to our writeup of last night's powerful memorial ride and "die-in" protest honoring fallen CDOT Planner Riley O'Neil. 6 alders were there.

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.
