Slow Roll Chicago

Slow Roll Chicago is a bicycle movement. We ride bikes to make our neighborhoods better. This is why we exist. This is why we ride.

[Slow Roll Chicago @SlowRollChicago]

The Series will consist of three rides, held monthly on Monday nights in July, Aug., and Sept. with a focus on connecting people to Chicago Park District parks and natural areas. Every Slow Roll Chicago community bike ride is about 8 miles and takes about 2 hours.

Lots of complaints about bikes & scooters - which take up little space & emit no carbon. Can we please focus, instead, on reducing the # of cars - you know, the ones that take up enormous space (roads, parking), cause climate change, make people unhealthy? https://t.co/WVIwqQ1q3G

The city is considering building a new light rail or BRT route to connect the upcoming Lincoln Yards development with the Loop. Why isn't the city considering improving nearby Metra access instead? Emanuel's apathy towards Metra could be a factor. https://t.co/wSHoXbCD0N

Anton Seals Jr. from Grow Greater Englewood discusses the group's strategy for creating the Englewood Line elevated trail as an amenity that's of, by, and for current residents of the South Side community. https://t.co/oC0Mzfqr6f

Reminder that the city and Obama Foundation are proposing widening roads at a cost of $175 million, but neither has said who and how it's being paid for. https://t.co/GPotHr7Y1U

[John Greenfield @greenfieldjohn]

Should we make Drexel Boulevard safer to bike on, or encourage more people to drive there? The former option is fully funded by federal grants and shovel-ready. The latter would cost Chicago $230K. https://t.co/PtOUYk765Z

For all my public health friends, especially those that value and are committed to advancing health equity, it’s time you think seriously about policing as a social determinant of health, particularly in black and brown communities.

[Streetsblog Chicago @streetsblogchi]

Reps from Ofo, one of Chicago's 3 DoBi vendors, say their ability to improve mobility on South Side is being hampered by the city's limits on the number of cycles and "lock-to" requirement. Meanwhile residents say the distribution of bikes isn't equitable. https://t.co/ccOuRzrImV

[Streetsblog Chicago @streetsblogchi]

Show your support for better bikeways on the Northwest Side by taking part in the Bike for Belmont-Craigin ride tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Riis Park. If you can't attend, there's a petition you can sign to show your solidarity with the cause. https://t.co/nnw9zNKyD3

[Streetsblog USA @StreetsblogUSA]

What if bike parking were as automatic as car parking in cities? D.C. leaders may make it so @ggwash https://t.co/YzN4wNtGSo
