The Illinois Bike Summit will be held in Chicago for the first time this May. This will be the 6th Summit organized by Ride Illinois, previously held in Champaign-Urbana and Bloomington-Normal.

Join us on Monday, May 7 at the University of Illinois at Chicago for a day of learning and networking with up to 300 bicycle advocates, planners, civil engineers, elected officials, and others from around the state. With a range of session topics – from bikeway design and tips to advocacy and community engagement – the summit offers strategies to help you make progress in your town.

We’re working to put together an exciting agenda for 2018, and we’re pleased to announce that Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn and Chicago Department of Transportation Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld will participate as keynote speakers. Other current session topic highlights include:

• Chicago bike infrastructure – presentation and mobile workshops
• STAR (Small Town and Rural) bike infrastructure
• Chicago River and other trail campaigns
• Modest improvements for more bicycle-friendly road projects
• Comparing bike share models:  Divvy, Zagster, dockless
