Preparing for my first Santa Rampage. Am I doing it right?
It’s that time of year I tell the ppl in my phone when I moved to Chicago for transit and my first winter CTA did me dirty and I bought all the winter cyclist gear and never looked back ⛄️ 🚲
I regret to inform you I once again took the bus and wish I biked - had to wait fifteen minutes for a bus, and now it's stuck in traffic 🫠
On a bike I'd already be there

Last night was our latest home buyout, $300 worth of candy and snacks, then we spotted a vendor out in the cold and rain and bought all his chips and elotes passed them out to folks taking shelter in the library. Tonight we’re buying 20 dozen tamales. Ride Bikes. Chicago Winters. Spread Joy. 🤙🏽

I could buy a $12,000 bike every year to equal the average annual cost of car ownership. $3,500 is a helluva deal.
Who the F needs a $3,500 bike?
A Seattle Times editorial board member had his $3,500 bike stolen, immediately called the King County Prosecutor's Office (because his bike is so expensive, "it's a felony," he noted), then concluded that police need to spend more of their time tracking down bikes stolen and used by homeless people.

I jest but there’s a special place in our hearts for Indy. We lived there for 12yrs, met in prison, and have many fond memories. Our weekend back for a wedding and we had exactly 2 sites to visit…

When someone tags CxS in a IG post about a vendor so we pull up but he already sold out so we buy out another vendor, $100 of empanadas from a Venezuelan vendor, delivered to an encampment with Venezuelans…community can be incredible when used for good. 🇻🇪

Why do I have stacks of candy? Bc I was meeting up with another organizer in the loop and spotted a candy vendor. Like spring flowers blooming, this is a great sign nature is healing. So we bought her out. ✊🏽
