The Chainlink (www.thechainlink.org), Chicago bicycling's online community, has blossomed from an idea to more than 2,500 members in 18-months. The Chainlink founder Leah Neaderthal, will discuss how online tools can reinforce and, in some cases, build a community that is based on pedaling away from a computer.

Lauren Sailor, co-chair of Chicago Bike Winter (www.bikewinter.org), will also join Leah to talk about this grassroots organization that provides a variety of classes, promotion and community to help keep you going through the snow and chill.
