This is a space for queers and allies to meet and find a cycling community. We love a spectrum of genders, ages, identities, and bikes and welcome you to ride! Wear your glitter, cycling drag, or whatever makes you feel fabulous and fierce.Pace will be leisurely, and the ride will be 5-10 miles. We aren't setting a route ahead of time, but won't venture too far North or South. Let's help build a bike scene we want to see in Chicago! Suggestions? Concerns? Want to help?

I try to make my tours fun and entertaining, but also informative and factual.  They are fashioned as a social event, but they are also like a rolling history lesson.  Once a year, I need a break from all of the facts and I will just lie my……head off.  This is that day.  Anything…potentially everything I say may be…See More

We are the ones that bike to the yoga studio with our yoga mats slung over our backs. We put our helmets next to our mats while we practice yoga. Then we get back on our bikes.See More

For all cycling fans of Chicago architecture from the immediate post-war era and prior. Seeing great architectural works via bicycle. Collecting, organizing, exchanging rides, routes and getting together to do the same. Photo sharing encouraged.See More

Our first class was such a success! This will be a weekly class offered to all chainlinkers (and friends). Every Tuesday evening from 7-8pm we will be practicing Vinyasa. A skilled leader will show us how to improve our core and overall strength as cyclists. Feedback and suggested donation for our teacher are welcome. Please rsvp in some form due to space limitations.
