Chicago’s SAFE Ambassadors

Take a look into our 2nd Annual SAFE Bike Ride. Thanks to our students for trusting us through your bike journey. #bikechi #bikechicago

This week, we launched the Smart Streets Pilot Program to improve safety and accessibility by keeping our bus and bike lanes clear. Be smart, avoid a ticket!

ELPC's @LenaGReynolds led a field trip biking the lakefront trail to @ChicagoParks Northerly Island with @ChicagoSafe & @NPCA. We heard about shoreline resilience amid a changing climate, clean transportation as climate action, and connecting diverse communities with nature.

Chicago’s newest neighborhood bikeway is already bustling! The Berwyn Greenway connects to the Lakefront Trail and community destinations like local businesses and the Berwyn CTA station. CDOT will expand it west in 2025. @the48thward

On behalf of those of us who live near the end of an alley.

We had an amazing time leading a cycling program at Bret Harte Elementary! Over 4 weeks, we taught beginners to ride and helped experienced riders sharpen their skills. Big thanks to @OutrideBike for their support through the Riding for Focus program, providing bikes and helmets!
