North Side Critical Mass at Senn Park
May 11, 2012 from 7pm to 11pm
THE monthly north side gathering of cyclists. Winds a dozen miles-ish, ending with food+drink. Well-attended. Bring friends, tunes, bells, costumes, cameras. Meet under Young Lincoln Statue at Ridge and Thorndale. Not just for Northsiders, see it as a second big monthly mass, sometimes topping 100 riders.See More

Bike Winter Kick Off Workshop (and surviving Bike Fall!) at Billy Goat Inn
September 22, 2011 from 7pm to 8:30pm
The shortening days do not lie: Bike Fall, and then Bike Winter are around the corner. "Bike Fall" refers to the time of year when people get discouraged by cold, wet and, worst of all, variable weather. The secret is that winter riding is generally easier than riding in the spring and fall. Learn how and why by coming to the Bike Winter Kick Off Workshop which is held on World Car-Free Day in honor of the many people who have been inspired to sell their cars once they realized that cycling…See More
Liz W. Durham replied to kiltedcelt's discussion 'Another winter commute fender/tire question'"I ride year round. My experience has been that studded tires are largely unnecessary for me.

Liz W. Durham replied to Death Rae's discussion 'seatpost-mounted pannier rack...help?'"Do you have lower rear eyelets (just above the dropouts)? If so, you can maybe find an adapter that allows you to mount racks through the eyelets. I just did this on my older road bike with a campagnola brand adapter. Some sort of spacer might also…"

Liz W. Durham commented on Todd Allen's group 'Kidical Mass'"Jason- you mentioned connecting with the Rogers Park ride again this year.

Walk Bike Transit
Walk Bike Transit is a political action committee working to ensure that candidates are aware of the importance of active transportation to healthy communities, as well as the constituency of voters to whom the issue is important.
Liz W. Durham commented on BalloonBiker's event 'Superhero Cycling'"I will be working for at least part of the day. Sounds like a great idea though and lots of fun!"
Liz W. Durham commented on Jera Sue's event 'The Kickstands Informational Meeting- Kopi/Andersonville'"Going to do my best...got the kids to consider though. What time is the Sunday meeting?"

jillnerkowski said… - to liz, thats a good idea. right now im working on my own biek canopy again becaseu ibroke my original one when ihauled another bike with te weight on the plastic frame. iwent back to teh ahrdware storeand found thast all the virgin palstic has ebe nsubstiuted for palstic particle boards which isnt strong enough and after searchnig and swearchnig ive actually resorted to viens which aren't commercially viable for sale. so I need to do some more researchbefreo icome up with another modification to my bike canopy, such as for rear child seat carriers.
