Hey everyone, this event just came together and it's on Tuesday...wanted to let the Chainlink community know.
Here's a blog we submitted (copied/pasted below).
Thanks,

Ever get a flat tire on Milwaukee Ave.? Next time you’ll have somewhere to stop and fix up your ride like new.
Please join Active Trans as we help Paramount Room cut the ribbon on their brand new bike fix-it station, the first such installation along the new Milwaukee Ave. Spoke Route.
By investing their own dollars to bring even more bike amenities to the neighborhood, Paramount Room is leading the way as a Bike-Friendly Business.
Help us repay the favor by showing them some bike community love!
Active Trans staff will be on hand to help demonstrate how you can use the fix-it stand for basic bike repair and maintenance.
The event will be kicking off a monthly series of ‘Bike-In’ events at Paramount Room, including special deals for people arriving by bike, networking and presentations from local bike shops and advocacy groups. Please join us!
What:Fix-It Station Ribbon Cutting and Bike Social
Where: Paramount Room, 415 N. Milwaukee Ave.
When: Tuesday, September 10 6-8 p.m.

I was, on the ride home, just yesterday, musing aloud to my ride partner, "What would it be like if we (cyclists) were so many, that we just took over."
I believe that a "brand new bike fix-it station" on Milwaukee is prima facie evidence that the dream is happening...
Very cool.
