#bikechi Y'all we all have like a million of these kinds of bottles hanging out. If you've got some you can donate, there's a need in Minneapolis and we're shipping.

Tomorrow we gather for LagerTown at the brewery. Alongside limited steins and stickers, this year’s commemorative tee awaits – cream print on cypress, classic fit with structured shoulders and a ribbed neck. Soft yet durable, made to last through Oktoberfest for many years to come.

Chicagoland bike teams stand united. We are deeply disappointed in the recent USA Cycling policy change banning trans women and creating barriers for trans men in racing. We will continue to do the work to support, uplift, and race alongside our trans teammates and community members -- always.

On 9/21 we're hosting another Gender Equity CX clinic!
We want to cover novice women, nonbinary and trans (🤞🏼) racers entries into the first chicrosscup races of the year. We also want to cover BIPOC novice entry fees for these two races. Send us an email if you're interested and we'll set you up.

We're contacting USA Cycling to tell them their last minute rule change banning trans women sucks, and that we're going to choose our trans community over USAC.

Calling on all Chicago bikers! A beloved member of the Chicago bike community (and a Femmes + Thems core organizer) took a spill at Critical Mass on Friday and was badly injured. Because both of their arms are broken, they are not able to do most self care tasks, let alone work.

“This is one of my bikes. This bike I got from Working Bikes, where we're at right now. I got it before the pandemic, just as a way to get back into cycling. I’d been out of it for many years after being a messenger and getting into a lot of crashes, and other life stuff got in the way. . .” 🧵
