Description

Community Area #14, Albany Park is located 8 miles northwest of the Loop. In very short fashion, this community grew from rural farmland to a vibrant urban neighborhood that today is one of the most diverse areas in the entire United States. The area became home to many convenient forms of transportation and as a result experienced a significant building boom in the early 20th century. This boom brought to neighborhoods in Albany Park like Mayfair, North Mayfair and Ravenswood Manor a stock of well-built and sturdy brick flats and bungalows, but a ride through the streets of Albany Park will also reveal exciting and unique commercial districts, and well-planned and plentiful green space.

Join us for a relaxed ride through Albany Park and learn a bit about its history and architecture. Rides are $10. Earn half off by joining us for a free pre-ride or a free pass by also volunteering as a ride marshal.

Kathy was kind enough to call me and let me know that the location on the Chainlink page incorrectly says the Gomper's Park fieldhouse. It is actually the Samuel Gomper's statue at the southwest corner of Pulaski and Foster, however, our first stop is the fieldhouse, and we'll send someone there to round up any folks gathered there so no harm and no foul.

Just letting you know to go to the Gompers statue at the southwest corner of Pulaski and Foster.

BTW, what the hell is up with this weather? This will never work.....
