Tue., March 27, 7 a.m.–9 a.m. and 4 p.m.– 6 p.m.
Sat., March 31, noon – 2PM
Approximately 25 volunteers are needed for each of the three time slots. Volunteers will help record changes in seasonal ridership, document the need for bicycle infrastructure and help advance Chicago’s commitment to be the most bicycle friendly city in America.
In September of 2011, volunteers recorded more than 9,700 bicyclists at 21 locations entering and exiting the central business district during the morning and afternoon peak hours.
