This Sunday is International Women's Day, so let's ride!!! Let's celebrate not just women, but also trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive people! This day is for all of us, as we continue to fight for gender justice, autonomy, and liberation. We'll meet up @metriccoffee at 1:00 pm, to enjoy some delicious coffee and pastries as we gather. We'll roll at 2:00 pm and ride 6.5 miles to @marzbrewing for a post-ride hang. Be sure to bring water and snacks, lights, bike locks. We roll at 10-12 mph & stick together. Our rides welcome all forms of micromobility! We'd love to see you roll up on e-bikes, cruisers, cargo bikes full of children & pets, scooters, or other PEVs.

Bonfire at Promontory will start around 7:30 PM. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 We recommend grabbing food in Chinatown before 6:30 so you have enough time to eat before we get rolling!

Please message us here if you are looking for other ways to support our dear friend. Don’t forget to share with your friends so we can reach as many people as possible.

We’re asking the bike community to come together to help Haley cover their expenses while they recover, and contribute other goods and services if possible. The most helpful way to support Haley is directly sending them money through V3nmo, included in the above picture.

A flyer with a purple and pink background. Large white and pink text at the top reads: “CALLING ALL CHICAGO BIKERS! HELP US SUPPORT A FEMMES N THEMS CORE ORGANIZER.” Smaller white text on the left says: “Our beloved Femmes & Thems member Haley broke both of their arms on one of their favorite group rides. We ask the community to come together to support them in their recovery. Direct funds sent to Haley’s venmo are the most helpful. You can find it here:” Below, in large white and pink text: “@HSTORM78934” At the bottom left, smaller text: “@FEMNTHEMBIKECHI” On the right side of the flyer, there is a photo of a person smiling while holding a decorated bicycle with bright purple lights. They are wearing a knit hat, glasses, a white t-shirt, patterned pants, and a backpack, standing in front of a black iron fence.

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.
