Please mark your calendars for a fall ride - the Chicago Ghost Bikes Ride. I think this ride would be a great time to assess the condition of each bike and keep on top of each bike's maintenance - maybe even designating certain folks to check up on the bikes regularly.

I'm sorry I missed it. Last year was very meaningful.

On the heels of the 2010 Ride of Silence, I invite you to a post-ride meeting to follow-up on last night's Ride - what worked, what still needs work, how can we improve (get more riders?, get more red armbands?, get candles to set out at the ghost bikes?, etc), thoughts on the post-ride gathering.
We will meet at 7:30pm this upcoming Monday, May 24, at 7:30pm at the REI in Lincoln Park.
All are welcome to attend.
Thank you for making this year's Chicago Ride of Silence so inspiring.
