Chicago hold-up is a traditon lifting the bikes in a Critical Mass ride. It is also known as "bike lift" or "bike salute" and a spontaneous and symbolic gesture frequently performed in Chicago while moving intersections by corkers who safe the other cyclists. The term dates back at least to a Chicago Critical Mass bike ride held on September 5, 1997.

It is also spontaneously demonstrated in other cities. ^[1], ^[2]
