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? sfexaminer.com/quit-whining-…

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. chi.streetsblog.org/2018/05/…

Two aldermen with concerns so far: @AldPatDowell3rd about costs of infrastructure improvements and neighborhood affordability for residents, and Ald. David Moore (17) about whether it will be a center or a library.

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. chi.streetsblog.org/2018/05/…

Should Drexel get dooring-free bike lanes, or additional parking lanes? The second option would cost the city an extra $230K.

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. – at New Brunswick, NJ

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. chi.streetsblog.org/2018/05/…

What if bike parking were as automatic as car parking in cities? D.C. leaders may make it so @ggwash usa.streetsblog.org/2018/05/…

It shouldn't be a tough nut to crack: Just put more bike parking in the curb lane. Now Washington, DC, is considering something along those lines.
