Our friend Julie

loves kittens, lives in spandex, and runs a little website called The Chainlink. 

[And by that I mean, she pours her heart and soul into this thing.  On a relentless mission to strengthen Chicago's cycling scene, you'll find Julie riding any of her six bikes (in a dress), scouting out trailers, speaking at gatherings, staffing events, accepting awards, networking around town, meeting with influential people to envision how major sectors can support cycling, and still cheering for passing bike riders on the street.]

And today she was BORN! 

Happy birthday, Julie!  

Thanks for being humbly awesome and enabling a website of interesting trends, incredible people, and useful wisdom for the bike lane.  Have a great year!
