Congrats to more than 1,400 people from 99 organizations that participated in this year’s Bike Commuter Challenge. We started it as a Bike-to-Work Day in the late 1980s and it eventually evolved into the month-long Challenge. Winners, please take a bow. activetrans.org/uncategorized/…

👏Thanks to everyone who rallied to save transit over the weekend.🚍 The message was clear: unless legislators return to Springfield soon and pass legislation to fix and fund transit, the consequences will be devastating to our entire region. 🚇 nbcchicago.com/top-videos-hom…
