Chicago ROS is once again selling calendars created using photos taken locally; proceeds from all calendar sales will benefit the Chicago Ride of Silence and promo for ROS as much as possible. For 2012, there are 3 calendars to choose from - Chicago, Flowers in Bloom, and (most notably for us bikey folk) Bikes Around Town. :-)The calendars may be purchased via www.emaoriginals.com .... please pass along to others you know, too.Thank you so much for your support and for helping to spread the word of this "fundraiser"!!! We will also be selling calendars at upcoming bike swaps -- including (hopefully) at this weekend's bike swap in Milwaukee.
