Sunday, May 26th
Online registration closes Saturday at Noon!
Please sign up before online registration closes Saturday at noon. You can sign up at the event but it's more expensive, the lines will be long, you won't get a T-shirt and you may miss out on precious time for car-free bicycling!
Catch the view on Lake Shore Drive
Enjoy great views of the lake, the city's stellar skyline and many thousands of other cyclists celebrating summer's kickoff.

Square One
14th Street & Michigan Avenue
Website: http://www.squareonechicago.com
Located at 14th Street and Michigan Avenue in the heart of South Loop, Square One is now open. The new neighborhood-driven bar will echo a sense of community for locals and will serve as an ideal place for a craft beer, a finely tuned cocktail, or one of many fine wines. Food accompaniments such as specialty meats and cheese will be interactive and creative.
Designed by owner Ron Vaisman, Square One's design is warm and eclectic with a modern feel. The counter-chic space features local wood reclaimed floors, 30-foot high ceilings, chalkboard walls, and reclaimed wine barrel chandeliers. The 23-foot cement bar includes seating for 24 on adjustable machinist stools and features a meat and cheese station on one end. Reminiscent of an old school drive-in, a 12-foot projector will play black and white movies over the bar. An area called "the living room," is outfitted with a u-shaped couch, slate fireplace and TV, and can be reserved for private parties. Square One offers seating for about 60 people inside and patio seating in directors' chairs for 30 outside on 14th Street.

FASHION IN THE STREET or #FITS accomplishes the endeavor to upscale the festival scene with an event catered to great fashion and runway in an outdoor setting. This event will provide alternative forms of live entertainment featuring local artists and designers to showcase the BEST of Chicago's boutiques! Fashion Shows, down an awe inspiring 100-foot runway, are produced by well know Fashion Show Production Firm, BENJAMIN COTTRELL DESIGNS.
Live bands and DJs will be on stage while patrons meander through the streets filled with high-end vendors, displaying and selling all things fashionable. From recognized labels showcasing their 2013 summer-line to upcoming "hidden gems" of the boutique world, all levels of designers will be represented. We want to celebrate the amazing fashion and community of our great city in a way that only Chicago knows how.

Divvy Bike Sharing Stations
South Loop locations announced
|
Bike sharing is an innovative new transportation system you can use without having to own your own bike. The Divvy fleet is made up of specially designed, heavy-duty, very durable bikes that found in a network of docking stations all over the City of Chicago. They are transit systems which allow users to control their own travel and is intended to be used for short, quick trips - typically less than 2 miles. To ride, users can purchase short-term passes (24-Hour) or an Annual Membership to use the system. 24-Hour Passes may be purchased from any station kiosk using a credit or debit card. Annual
Members enroll online and receive a personal key used to quickly unlock bikes from any station.
Bikes can be returned to any station anywhere in the system, creating an efficient network with many possible connection points and combinations of departures and arrivals.
