Bring your friends to Bike Town Bash!

From our member, J. Alex Sanger:

"If you bike in the city of Chicago, chances are that you have pulled up a chair to a table, set your helmet down, and told a friend about the right hook that almost got you or the cars double parked in the bike lane. As coffee (or other beverages) are poured in front of you, you share the joys, fun, and, well, sometimes frustration of bicycling in this great city of ours. How about trading in that silk underwear for a silk dress? Those wool long underwear for the nice trousers in the back of your closet? See how fishnets can work with bike shoes, grab your bike, and meet your friends at the Bike Town Bash.
