Oak Park approves bike plan!Posted by Pamela Brookstein Thanks to member support, the Oak Park Village Board last night unanimously approved its first bike plan, which includes a detailed bike network and innovative safety and education programming. |
Bike Messenger Appreciation Day is Thursday, Oct. 9.
Why? Because 10-9 is the radio code for “please repeat” and messengers should be appreciated for their year-round work.
Bike messenger appreciation will start with free breakfast from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Thompson Center courtesy of Mayor Daley and the City of Chicago. The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation will host a happy hour after work at Mother Hubbard’s (State/Hubbard) where the first 150 messengers who show their company ID will receive a free beer.
Spread the word to any messengers you know about these events and that you appreciate their work!
