We will have to save Lucy Parsons for next year because this year we are starting on the west side and ending at Roller Derby!

Only two bar stops this ride at our start "Red" Square Bar where we have been promised drink specials! and Simone's, the pride of Pilsen. We will be stopping in between the two bars at the South Loop Whole Foods/Jewel Osco for lunch/picnic provisions as we ride to Buckingham Fountain and a group photo and picnic. After that we will ride south through Bridgeport and past the Haymarket Police Monument at the CPD HQ.

After Simone's those who want to can join us at the roller derby at UIC Pavilion. I will be conducting a group buy of tickets. When we purchase this way we get a section of seats reserved for us, just imagine how swell we will look all together in our tweed!, and also $7 off the regular admission price. Send me a PM if you want a ticket and just pay me at the venue.

see route links at the event page

Three gears good, one gear bad ... especially in China, it seems. take a gander at Are there no hipsters in China?, over at Slate. And here is the wonderful blog about Classic Chinese Cycles mentioned in the article.

I think I see a Crafty Cyclists project night in the near future. I have some tweed that would make a nice helmet cover.

Also, photos are out for London's 2nd Annual Tweed Run! Do visit and be inspired by both the attire and noble steeds!

Well I heartily endorse any BBC nutters who would like to represent us at this fine event of link-minded Continentals!

True -and it always surprises me, as cold as it gets in ChiTown, that it is on the same latitude as Portugal!

Well, Merry Olde is "technically" north of Chicago, ain't it?

Me-thinks Graham, the gent with that green James bicycle with black mudguards/fenders and white tyres, lives in London?
