Chicago, Bike Grid Now

Bike Grid Now, is a grassroots advocacy and direct action group in Chicago that is calling for a bike-prioritized safe streets network in the city. 10mph, 10% of streets, protected, NOW! To learn more about what jams are, why we jam, and how to support us please check out http://bikegridnow.org/ or @bikegridnow on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

We formed early June 2022 and have been leading weekly ‘Bike Jams’ throughout various neighborhoods in Chicago. Our Bike Jams are super slow rides (4mph) that are part protest, part call-to-action, and part bike party, though all wheels are welcome to join. In our short time as a group, we have organized 11 Bike Jams, met with several alders, connected with mayoral candidates, and campaigned for safe streets legislation with other transit advocacy groups.
