Bike to Make a Difference This Weekend

We're pretty opinionated about the safety of the lakefront bike path. Apparently, so are you. Why not join in the Dick Herron Bike and Walk this Sunday? This 15-mile ride along the lakefront path, or short walk through Lincoln Park, is in honor of Dr. Richard Herron, a cyclist killed two years ago in a traffic accident. Proceeds from the walk will be funneled toward the Dick Herron Memorial Fund, which helps build the self-confidence of young people through bulding bikes, or the Chicago Bicycle Federation's "Drive With Care" initiative.

The ride starts at 9:30 by the North Avenue pedestrian overpass. You can register for the ride, or make donations directly, by visiting the CBF's website.
