Peace Slow Rollers - One word: WOW!

Several words: We are deeply inspired by what we've achieved in less than 2 months. And, we are incredibly fortunate to have all of you on this journey together with us. We love and appreciate our incredible ‪#‎SquadChicago‬ team and the entire extended ‪#‎SlowRollCHI‬ family. We did this together! We will soon share a more formal, detailed season wrap up with everyone along with our plans to keep our #SlowRollCHI community connected through the winter.

How beautiful is it to tell your story in a way that captures your essence - what you do & why you do it??? This is the incredibly beautiful story of Slow Roll Chicago, produced by our friend and avid cyclist Jay Shefsky at WTTW Channel 11. Thank you kindly Jay! Congrats and salute to you on the work...

We'd like to express our sincere appreciation for this beautiful opportunity to Christopher Breedlove + Ben Prawer + Joy Nieda + Maggie Sather + Andrea Mattson and the entire Chicago Community Grant Program, BURN & BWB extended family...

This grant means the world to us and we are honored to have this support and the support of the beautiful Burning Man community here in Chicago. We also want to congratulate this community for your work. We loved the energy and spirit in the room that night. Salute to all of you for creating time and space for a diverse group of people to connect in an authentic way and express themselves in a way that is safe and empowering. We look forward to staying in touch with you and would love to have all of you on a Slow Roll Chicago ride soon.

Congratulations to Slow Roll Chicago on being awarded a grant from the Chicago Community Grant Program.  They had tough competition from three other worthy organizations, but the compelling presentation by Jamal, Oboi and Derrick won out.  With the grant, they will be able to purchase repair equipment for the rides and to spread the word about Slow Roll.
