It was a great event on Saturday, if you missed it, watch for another next year!
More than 450 attendees, volunteers and vendors had a enjoyable winter bike-friendly day at Jak's Tap in the West Loop. Lots of funds were raised for Chicago's Bike Winter, many local vendors and individuals sold bikes, bike parts and cool gear. At the Active Trans table, our volunteers signed up or renewed 18 memberships!
Here are links to some my personal favorite organizations and vendors that attended:
The Chainlink – Chicago online bicycle community (Facebook for Chicago bicyclists)
Crank the Earth – cool, community-designed jerseys
PoCampo – stylish bags that are locally designed and produced
Faction Cycling Co. – local design, made in the U.S. jerseys, caps and more
Kozie Prery – locally made bike caps from recycled materials
Thanks again to everyone who participated and attended! Special thanks to co-organizers Bike Winter, Big Shoulders Realty, UIC Collge of Cycling and Break the Gridlock.
Active Trans is excited about doing it again next year!
