First buyout of the year wut wut 🎉
Very cool! At Monday's Archer rally, CyclingXSolidarity, joined by folks from SW Collective, Gage Park Cyclists & CCM, did a "vendor buy-out" of snacks from Oscar, who was there with his cart, to enjoy and share with people experiencing food insecurity.

My card was rejected at the gates bc I forgot to reload (don’t lecture me about auto), so I stepped aside to load more on the app and a CTA worker saw me and told me to go ahead and scanned me in. Heroes. 🫡
I just witnessed a CTA bus driver actually waiting a few minutes at a stop to reduce bunching with the bus ahead of him for the first time in my entire 17 years in this city (that I recall). I thanked him and wrote him a compliment to head office, as a bus bunching obsessive this made my day!

My 2nd season hauling Christmas trees to recycle for my neighbors. It’s a “pay what you want” model where proceeds go to support street vendors. Tomorrow my goal is to haul 5! 🦾🚲🌲

I also heard he’s been taking transit/taxi to everything. Just like Brandon’s inauguration where his convoy of SUVs parked in the bike lanes.

Last night was the last home buyout of 2025. It was a cold one but 4 brave souls biked across Chicago to pickup 250 tamales and distribute them to folks on the street. That’s over $5k and 1,780 tamales in the last 2 weeks alone. Stay tuned for our 2025 wrapped!!

Boxing Day? More like Tamale Day! 730 tamales bought from local street vendors to fill community fridges and feed homies on the street. Best part: one of the vendors gave us some free samples to enjoy. That’s community. This is mutual aid. This is #BikeChi ✊🏽

Spent Christmas Eve evening with some of my #BikeChi family, packing up 150 cheesecakes and riding around the city, passing them out to neighbors on the street and community fridges for some last minute Christmas cheer 🎅🏽🫶🏽🚲🍰

Tuesday continued with purchases of 680 tamales, we filled every community fridge we could find and lots of hungry Chicagoans on our rides home. My favorite part is that every buyout is a new combination of cyclists from the beautiful #BikeChi community. ✊🏽🫶🏽🚲

Can’t stop, won’t stop. While traversing through the Loop, spotted a vendor with her nina. Bought her out. She asked if I could help her friends. She called 2 more little ninos from different corners. Bought them out. Spotted another candy vendor, bought her out. ✊🏽🫶🏽

Tonight was the last night we had home buyouts scheduled this week. No pictures taken tonight so enjoy this soothing video from our buyout earlier this week. Imagine a steadfast tamale vendor handing me 10 dozen tamales and excited teenagers at a youth shelter asking me where they all came from.

With ICE back in Chicago terrorizing our communities and kidnapping our neighbors, we called an emergency buyout this morning. We bought out 6 vendors, over $1,000, filled a Love Fridge and lots of food to homies on the street. We keep us safe. ✊🏽
