ChiBike ruled, I would love to see a little bike community form here.

New to the bike scene and always looking for group/community rides. I've loved the last two Critical Masses and can't wait for the one later in June: https://thechainlink.org/events/chicago-critical-mass-957

I ride a '88 aluminum Trek 1000 I picked up from Working Bikes and absolutely love it. If you see me around town give me a ring!

Edit: I started c/chibike, come check it out!

Cyclist here! You can catch me at community events on my Brompton! Chicago Bike Sox tailgates are a lot of fun!

The last bike sox tailgate looked like a great time. I'd consider going to the next one and skipping the game!

You don't have to go to the game at all! I have just done the tailgate before too.

I also ride a aluminum hybrid bike from working bikes. I try to do the majority of my local trips by bike and also really enjoy group rides. I've been working to improve bike infrastructure on the southwest side. Really excited because CDOT is currently working with us and we also have a supportive alder for the first time.
