For one week, riders and employees unite and compete in a little friendly city-wide competition known as the Chicago Commuter Challenge. Find out more about Chicago’s Bike to Work Week on the Active Transportation Alliance Website. You can find all the info needed to participate solo or better yet, get your company signed up and see if you can win.

And, if you want to ride to work and need to get your bicycle ready, stop by Uptown Bikes and we’ll get you set.

This Memorial Day Weekend, join up with thousands of cyclists for this once-a-year, one-of-a-kind event. Get up early and eat a good breakfast, bring some extra water and hop on your bike and take it for a ride along the 8 lanes wide, 15 miles long Lake Shore Drive. Starting at 5am in downtown Chicago’s Grant Park, ride south to the Museum of Science & Industry, north to Bryn Mawr and back to Grant Park. You’ll enjoy the beautiful architecture, parks and lake front views normally reserved for motorized vehicles. And be sure to keep an eye open for us along the way. We support Bike the Drive riders by keeping your tires pumped up, chains greasy and gears changing smooth. So stop by during your break at Bryn Mawr and say “hi”.
