Signed up for @bikegridnow.org's bike tour of pop-up parks a few days ago. The starting point today was a lovely makeshift plaza in Austin, highlighted by an outstanding sculpture of Hebru Brantley’s Fantastic Flying Lil Mama.

Be curious about where you live. It is always rewarding. #bikechi
A pop-up park at Chicago and Lockwood Avenues in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago's West Side, anchored by a sculpture of the Fantastic Flying Lil Mama by artist Hebru Brantley.

Both bike lanes blocked by trucks in the announcement photo.

This is such a crazy way to describe safety advocacy groups like hey bro you're being REALLY aggressive right now about not getting hit by cars

Put "well-organized and often aggressive" on our tombstone www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/24/m...
Johnson is also surely aware that his progress on bike lanes will be a key benchmark for the many well-organized and often aggressive bike safety advocacy groups that have pushed for a “bike grid” throughout the city, some of whom pushed for a lower citywide speed limit that Johnson remained neutral on and aldermen in February voted down. Indeed, the mayor tipped his hat Tuesday at their push to redesign roads. “If there’s a group in Chicago that advocates on behalf of anything, it’s the people who are advocating for bike lanes and bikers,” he told reporters. “Your advocacy is paying dividends for the people of Chicago.” As he rode, Johnson said his Transportation Department is working toward “an ecosystem” of bike lanes that encourages cycling and makes people feel safe. He cited the need for a “strong grid.”
