Chicago Reader Biker Village

Bike To Pitchfork! (And volunteer for a free day pass!)

Please email Ginny Cook: gcook@chicagoreader.com 

The Chicago Reader is back with the Chicago Reader Biker Villages at Pitchfork this year, providing over 10,000 square feet of safe & secure parking, plus free water, grease for chains, and air for tires provided by The Bike Lane. The larger village is located in the North West corner of Ashland and Madison and the smaller village is located at 235 N Ashland, in the parking lot of Cobra Lounge. When you head into the festival, check out their booth inside where they will be giving away icy bandannas and taking festival photos. 

Need tickets? Volunteer in the Biker Village for FREE day passes and a custom Biker Village tshirt!  Your responsibility will be to greet bikers as they arrive, help them lock their bikes should they need assistance, communicate with Pitchfork staff to keep amenities stocked, and monitor the facility to keep bikes secure. Five-hour shifts are still available. Please email Ginny Cook: gcook@chicagoreader.com .
