Description

Join Active Trans and friends for an opportunity to connect with folks around the common interest of seeing the world by bike! Learn the ins and outs of touring and more about a ride this year in our own Midwestern backyard: Climate Ride!

We’ll host a lively discussion in the cozy upstairs space at Schuba’s Tavern, with experts on bicycle touring on hand to share their storied experiences of traveling by bike. Folks from Climate Ride will also give a presentation about their long distance cycling events that have risen over $1 million for bicycle advocacy, sustainability, clean energy, and climate education/advocacy organizations.

New this year, the first-ever Climate Ride Midwest spans three states and connects two vibrant cities, while exploring some of the best cycling in the country.

From the exciting trip start in Grand Rapids, Michigan — one of Bicycling magazine’s Top 50 Bike-Friendly Cities, home to the world’s largest art competition, and known as the “Beer City” due to its many craft breweries — to the triumphant arrival in Chicago, the new Climate Ride Midwest will challenge, inspire and surprise you as you pedal and connect with 150 other interesting climate and bicycle heroes.

The presentation will share Climate Ride's transformative experience and cover logistics for training, travel, and fundraising. In addition, Active Trans staff will be on hand to give you a preview of the perks of joining Team Active Trans (info at http://www.activetrans.org/sign-climate-ride-midwest).

Hope to see you there!
