ChiBike ruled, I would love to see a little bike community form here.

New to the bike scene and always looking for group/community rides. I've loved the last two Critical Masses and can't wait for the one later in June: https://thechainlink.org/events/chicago-critical-mass-957

I ride a '88 aluminum Trek 1000 I picked up from Working Bikes and absolutely love it. If you see me around town give me a ring!

Edit: I started c/chibike, come check it out!

Amazing place up in Wicker Park, operates more like a cafe than a dispensary and has the coolest workers! Prices aren't terrible either and all include taxes plus they hand out crazy amounts of free samples so if you go in for a 100mg slushie you can guarantee you'll likely end up with an extra 5-10mg!

Very interesting info as well as a nicely done, interactive infographic!

If anyone decides to do one of these, let us know which one sounds good!

So I have been away for a while but I came back and see there are new subs. Would love to upload more and make it more geared towards what people would like to hear about the city. Do you want politics? Economics? General news?

Let me know any thoughts you have so I can try to find content more suited to what you'd like to see.

The decades long project leans on federal money, but also an “equity TIF” that pools tax money from around Downtown to expand the Red Line south.

Really love seeing things like this come along as we prep for different energy needs. Don't like that it is extra money not originally granted for the project, but fingers crossed they will utilize these funds in an effective way.
