E-bike hive member since 2020. Biked to all 81 Chicago Public Library branches as a shitpost. Pro-Chicago til the day I die.
Missed opportunity for the Economist to settle the “Best Tern color” once-and-for-all with a photo of your bike!

Is the cure to male loneliness shouting “puppers” when you’re on a bike and see a dog with their snouts out the window? (10/10 would do again)

Round around in front of Dirksen to support the Broadview 6.

If you see this bike around Chicago, feel free to say hey.

Brian Straw (one of the Broadview Six) has been a big advocate for improving bike infrastructure in our community.

Can we do a #BikeChi roll call for who is at the Tortoise show tonight?

The day the bus for Ja’Mal Green’s senate campaign gets stuck is going to be one for the ages on here…BlueSky gonna do World Series like numbers.

Whispers…you can also put kimchi on a hot dog (similar to the way sauerkraut is used)…life changing.

The George C. Hall branch is particularly magnificent.

A blue bike sped past me at the corner of Grand and Laramie. Possible @nova999999.bsky.social sighting?

We invite our neighbors over to a Halloween bonfire with walking tacos and hand out candy from a large treasure chest with a skeleton inside.

Easily one of my favorite nights of the year.

I unfortunately can’t make @chicritmass.bsky.social due to a family conflict, but my cargo bike with a treasure chest and skeleton say what’s up!

Really need to get a pirate flag for next year…

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

You can just be booping around on your bike in Chicago and suddenly find yourself looking at one of the installations for now MacArthur Genius Tonika Lewis Johnson.

Biking to O’Hare would certainly be less impressive if it had its own bike lane like Dublin does.

Grateful for my EV…

I can’t explain it, but every time I see a Grand Waggoner on the road it screams “I should be able to drive my living room wherever I want…things massive”

In my happy place (seeing a Godspeed concert in a cemetery)

More coffee shops and bars should play albums from start to finish.

This thought brought to you by Milli by Metric playing the Graham Parson’s GP album.

Your daily corn (from the BGN ride tonight)…also…wait you were there too?
September 25, 2025 at 1:58 AM
We out here! Come say hey!

Gonna do my best to catch the @bikegridnow.org bike bus to Chicagohenge tomorrow. The views from last year's ride were phenomenal.

If we're mutuals on here and you see a black Tern GSD with a dad and daughter duo, please introduce yourself! #BikeChi
