It’s a pretty telling signal to how dangerous a location is if the ghost bike of someone who was killed there also gets hit

Finding a place to park a bike can be just as important as finding a place to ride one. Luckily, the City of Chicago allows residents to help expand its bike parking network. #BikeChi

This is bad. Worse than what I experienced living in Denver. Check air quality near you at AirNow.gov. We'll be talking about this tonight on The Forecasters on WGN+. We stream at 7 p.m. #ILwx

Mileage Milestone today: 5,000 miles. I purchased my #RadMission in June 2021. It took four years to do ~2,800 miles. The last ~2,200 were in the last year. Love my #RadPowerBike... and grateful to #IgorDoesMyBike for keeping it in good shape. #NotAnAd #BikeChi #Biking

CDOT lost the best of our team yesterday. We're heartbroken. In memory of Riley O'Neil, please refer to these bike racks as "Riley Racks". He led Chicago's bike parking program for several years. Our hearts are broken, but we want to make sure his legacy lives on 💙🚲 Please spread the word
