Do you want to bike around Chicago, but are worried about being the only cyclist on busy streets? At the critical mass bike ride, you can join a large group of cyclists and bike for around fifteen to twenty miles at a moderate pace. The organizers of the event remind attendees that you come at your own risk and to bring water, a bike lock, a mask, and to wear a helmet. The group will meet at the south end of Nichols Park and ride at 6:15pm. The event takes place on the first Friday of the month throughout the year except winter. Next dates are May 6th and June 3rd.
