Chainlink In The News!

Brent Cohrs highlights us, what we do here on The Chainlink, our fundraising campaign and Grid Chicago in today's Chicago Now Blog. To read the full article on Brent's Easy As Riding A Bike click here.

I think my favorite line is "virtual clubhouse of Chicago's cycling community".

"The chainlink truly is “of the people, by the people, and for the people” – when those people are cyclists, that is.  It is an online forum that shares information among city cyclists for the mutual benefit of all involved.  Discussion topics run the gamut from gear recommendations to riding tips, rants on driver behavior to suggestions for improving our cycling infrastructure.  On any given day, it is the pulse of Chicago’s cycling community.

The chainlink is also an excellent source for finding local cycling events.  ItsFeatured Rides and Events page lets you know what’s going on every day of the week.  Whether you’re searching for a fun weekend ride, looking for ways to get more involved with local causes, or have an event of your own to promote, the chainlink should be your first click when you go online.

Julie Hochstadter, director of the chainlink, is working on bringing the online experience up to today’s higher tech standards with a site overhaul and the addition of a mobile application.  An indiegogo fundraising page has been set up to accept contributions that will go toward a whole host of improvements to the virtual clubhouse of Chicago's cycling community.  If you value the information the chainlink provides – like I do – please consider making a donation."
