You don't have to bike all the way to your destination every day — even biking to your local bus or train stop counts. We'll give you all the tips you need to get going on two wheels, winter style! What are you waiting for? Join the challenge and prove that a little cold won’t slow your roll. Rosy cheeks look great on everyone!

Chicago’s winter too cold for you? You can still participate by donating to Active Trans. All proceeds will help the Active Transportation Alliance’s efforts in making biking in Chicagoland safer and easier.

SAVE THE DATE! Winter Bike to Work Day is Friday, January 23, 2015. Stop by our event downtown for free coffee, Eli’s cheesecake and to mingle with other winter bikers.
