A relatively recent addition to the Chicago bike scene is Femmes + Thems Bike Chicago, which describes itself as a “safe space for women, femme, nb, and trans Chicagoans to ride bikes together.” The group was co-founded by Sammy Schneider (she/her), who grew up biking around Skokie. After after moving back to Chicagoland from Miami, she decided that she really hated having a car.
