Summer Babes and Elegant Bachelors: A Stylish Cocktail Ride 06/10/09

Let’s Go Ride A Bike has teamed up with John Greenfield of Vote with Your Feet to encourage Chicago cyclists to turn it up a notch when it comes to style. All Chicagoland cyclists are invited to don their finest party attire and join us for a fun and classy ride about town. The route is still being finalized (John’s doing all the work) but we will be stopping by a few of the best al fresco drinking establishments.

For those who would like to get into the spirit early, come out to the Active Transportation Alliance’s member-only mixer at Dutch Bike Chicago on June 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. Active Trans members get in free and attendees can sign up for memberships at the door – a totally worthwhile cause. I hear there will be an urban obstacle course to navigate with a Dutch bike (I think that’s called my daily commute), alcohol, and a 20% discount on chic bike bags.

(The swanky pair on the flyer is JJ and Mac – looking good!)

    Will this ride have a “2nd annual” run?

      Yes! Absolutely :) I’m already scheming to get sharply dressed people on bikes for the spring.

        FANTASTIC. I haven’t had a bike in a few years, my last one was stolen from my apartment in Lisle. I’m getting a new one on Saturday to become mostly-car-free on my ~10 mile commute from West Chicago to Glen Ellyn. If you have a ride like this, I’m totally in!
