Protected crew launch · Chicago
This name is reserved. No random account gets to squat it. A verified Chicago United leader can take ownership and turn this into the crew's permanent command center.
Not another social profile.
What leadership gets
The Facebook group stays. Approval turns this permanent operating layer over to verified crew leadership—free—with every official ride and record easy to share back into the place members already gather.
Verified badge, custom logo, banner, colors, public story, rules and links.
Approve riders, invite usernames, promote officers and assign titles like Ride Lead.
Publish rides, show real going counts and assign leader, sweep, photographer and treasurer.
Keep reels, YouTube films, photo drops and event recaps on one permanent crew wall.
Member-only discussion when the conversation should stay inside the crew.
Membership growth, ride attendance, active officers and downloadable roster data.
Instagram × ThrottleGrid
Nobody has to abandon Instagram or hand over a password. Paste a public post or reel URL and it becomes part of the crew's permanent story—with the original creator credited and linked.
The views, comments and ownership stay on the original account.
Embed it on the Chicago United media wall and tag it to the ride it came from.
The member who shares it links to a profile, crew identity and garage—so the clip leads somewhere deeper.
Share the official ride or crew page into Facebook, Instagram DMs or anywhere the conversation already lives.
One public URL. No duplicate upload. No Instagram login required.
Chicago riders. Citywide community. Built by the people who lead it.
Protected ownership
ThrottleGrid reviews this manually. A verified leader receives the official group page as owner, can appoint officers immediately, and can transfer ownership later without losing the community history.
Use your real identity and a verified email so crew ownership has a clear chain of custody.

Give a Chicago United leader one link. The page explains the tools, protects the name, and lets them start the ownership review themselves.
