15th Ward Bike Ride

Jun 30, 2010 | by Active Trans

This years 15th Ward Bike ride was an overwhelming success! We are in our 3rd year and the numbers in attendance keep growing. This ride took place on June 26 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm in the Healthy Chicago Lawn Community. We had over 60 families ready to ride and be active. Alderman Foulkes was beaming with pride as she was pleases to see those amazing, growing numbers. Also, the 8th District police station was well represented with 6 policemen on bikes and 2 squad cars. There were also donated helmets for the youth who rode — Thank you 8th District Caps program!

This ride shows that biking and active lifestyles are alive and well on Chicago's Southwest side. Don’t Miss Next Year Ride! To view more photographs please click here.

Active Trans has been a lifeline for us. [The organization] has been a huge source of learning and support. Without them, we would be out to sea all by ourselves, not really knowing what to do and not having the strength in numbers to keep things moving.
