We sold out 2 tamale vendors, bought out 2 more vendors, and absolutely swarmed a family owned bakery. It was a good day with some the very best of #BikeChi 🥰 for the 4th installment of the Street Vendor Bike Tour. We persist. ✊🏽

Tonight was the inaugural ride of our new home buyout program. We connect with vendors too scared to be out, and we purchase from them at home. Tonight we bought 250 tamales, divided into 3 teams to deliver all over the city to folks on the street, Love Fridges, and a youth shelter.

What if I told you that if you know talented people, the possibilities are as endless as your imagination.

Sometimes I’m transporting 250 tamales on my cargo bike to feed a village. Sometimes it’s 3 tamales to feed myself. The most important thing is that your tamales make it home safe. 🫔😍 #BikeTamale

Last night we had 8 members attend Cycles of Support, our unemployment support group where we had a career coach present to us. One new member was a federal employee facing difficult times. Whether it’s vendors in the street or people in the job market, we provide support where it’s needed. ✊🏽

🚨BREAKING🚨 CTA has announced, in a move to rival cities like Paris and Tokyo, 2min headways on all transit lines, 7 days a week. Smoking, however, is still permitted.

5 cyclists. 5 vendors. 1 Love Fridge. 1 Chicago. ✊🏽

Cash from supporters ➡️ cash to vendors ➡️ safety of their home ➡️ food to the community. This is mutual aid. This is #BikeChi

Chat, turns out ppl like riding bikes, supporting their community, and don’t care much for ICE. This weekend we bought out 9 vendors, hosted a ride, and delivered over 250 burritos to hungry Chicagoans, coverage from Timeout, Block Club, Telemundo, and CNN. The message is clear #BikeChi shows up ✊🏽

What if instead of ICE terrorizing our communities, we had Mac and Cheese agents posted at corners for food emergencies?? Wife spotted these heroes at Madison/Halsted 👀 🫡 thank you for your service

As ICE continues to terrorize our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, 9 cyclists came together this morning at 6am to buyout 5 vendors and donate the food to a local shelter. They went home safe, hungry ppl were fed, this is #BikeChi ✊🏽

Follow me and I will show you the way. 🤙🏽

Do 100% of our funds go to support street vendors? Yes. Do I also purchase tamales and currently survive off of them? Also yes. Chat, everybody is winning in this initiative. 🫔 🫔 🫔

and do you think I had any problem whatsoever with a full load of groceries? I did not. 🦾

Happy Monday to my Costco bike friends and my Costco bike friends only. There was a STEADY stream of cyclists and scooters coming and going. This is where the revolution will begin.

Then we rode around finding folks who were out in the rain to deliver them a warm, fresh, and delicious breakfast. Beautiful morning all around! 🫶🏽🚲✊🏽 #BikeChi

3 of us braved the rain to buy out 2 vendors this morning. One vendor had their young child waiting in the car and started immediately packing up after we bought everything she had. I hope they enjoyed the rest of the day somewhere warm and comfy. Look at that tamale steam! 😍 🫔

Without street parking, surface lots, and parking garages, Oslo’s busiest shopping district is left abandoned. Only robust transit, bike paths, scooters, and tons of places to sit remain. Sad. #BanCars
October 14, 2025 at 1:41 PM
Did we partner with @pintpeddler.bsky.social to support vendors for the Midnight Ride? Did the bike team buy out 5 vendors today? Did our Vendor Bike Tour next Saturday sell out so we had to add more tickets? ICE won’t stop, neither do we. ✊🏽 🫔 🔥 🧊

Saturday morning our team was able to buy out 2 vendors so they could go home. We then passed out tamales to our neighbors in La Villita and Pilsen. Shout out to the volunteers that sit with these vendors in the mornings to make sure they are safe and protected! We keep us safe. ✊🏽
October 12, 2025 at 3:28 PM
When we created this ride, it was supposed to be a joyous celebration of community. Since then kidnappings have increased substantially and vendors are terrified. We will not back down and our ride will continue in a way that keeps vendors safe. We take care of us. ✊🏽
