Sunday Ride: Architecture of Sacred Places

Our final ride of the season explores buildings in Bronzeville created for worship and reflection. Led by Sharon Samuels of SolQuest Design, riders will tour several architectural sites that contribute to the spiritual and social fabric of Bronzeville both in form and function.

Rides start and end at the Bronzeville Community Garden at 51st and Calumet.

Stop by the Bronzeville BikeBox before or after the ride, across the street from the Garden! We will be selling refurbished bikes every Sunday from 2-7p.
