While it was a little cooler than expected yesterday - especially along the lake - plenty of folks still showed up to Bike the Drive. Here are some shots, shared by readers in our Flickr Pool, of yesterday's event. Have some you still want to share? Add them to our Flickr pool and we'll run a few more tomorrow.

It was a gorgeous day for the annual Bike the Drive event and if you went and took pictures, we'd love to see them. If you feel like sharing, put your favorite Bike The Drive '09 pics in our Flickr Pool and we'll check in tomorrow with a gallery of Bike The Drive pics.

It might seem to some like excessive navelgazing when we chit-chat amongst ourselves in the Chicagoist Podcast Series, but sometimes it's because there's more to the story behind the photographs and posts.

Lake Shore Drive has just re-opened after being closed since 5:30 for the annual Bike the Drive. We were at 31st Street and snapped a few shots on what has turned out to be a gorgeous morning for riding bikes. No word yet on whether any bikers were consumed by the potholes that plague the drive. More photos after the jump.

Bike the Drive is Sunday, and registration for the annual event closes tomorrow at 5pm. Registration is $40, though sneaking in isn't unheard of.
