Description

Bike by the Federal Plaza in Chicago’s Loop on Jan. 20 for the annual celebration of cyclists who don’t let cooler temperatures stop them from pedaling to work. The Active Trans warming tent will provide riders with Caribou coffee and tea plus our traditional Eli's Cheesecake. This event commemorates coldest day in Chicago history—Jan. 20, 1985, when the official temperature at O’Hare International Airport was 27 degrees below zero. Federal Plaza is located at Adams Street and Dearborn Street in the Loop.

Frank, the camera crew early on was ABC I believe.  Thanks for coming out everyone!  It was so cool to actually run the event after having been a participant for so long.

I'll be biking to work, but sadly won't be biking that far south - can you guys move the event about a mile north? :)

If I park at the bike station and shower and change clothes before coming over, will I still get coffee and cheesecake? (-;
