Get ready to pedal into 2025 as part of Downtown Evanston's ongoing collaboration with Evanston Transit Alliance and Chicago Family Biking/Evanston Kidical Mass. From May through October, Downtown Evanston is bringing you two fantastic series of monthly bike rides that promise fun, fitness, and a whole lot of community spirit! The adult rides will be led by Evanston Transit Alliance, and the family rides will be led by Chicago Family Biking/Evanston Kidical Mass. All of the rides will either start, end, or pass through some part of Downtown Evanston. All rides are free, but please register for any dates that you plan to ride so that we can get an approximate head-count. Helmets are required on all rides. For questions, please email info@DowntownEvanston.org.
