ChiBike ruled, I would love to see a little bike community form here.

New to the bike scene and always looking for group/community rides. I’ve loved the last two Critical Masses and can’t wait for the one later in June: https://thechainlink.org/events/chicago-critical-mass-957

I ride a '88 aluminum Trek 1000 I picked up from Working Bikes and absolutely love it. If you see me around town give me a ring!

Edit: I started c/chibike, come check it out!

    Curious to see if there are enough pedalers who would make the jump to Lemmy since chibike is soo good atm.

    Maybe they all use a third party app, that spelled it out for me anyway.

      Yeah I was thinking about asking as the change gets closer. Im sure a good amount of them are using a 3rd party, myself included(apollo).

      This seems like a viable replacement but a fully featured ios app is needed, mlem is getting a little better everyday but its still got a ways to go. It would be great to see some of those 3rd party devs embrace lemy or kbin, that would make the transition almost painless.

      A few groups such as Chicago bike grid now and better streets Chicago have semi active mastodon accounts. I would definitely like to see chibike and carfreechicago communities replicated here on lemmy.

      I think the cycling community is predisposed to Lemmy based on the worldview of the average cyclist (read:not all)
