Three bike rides showcase scenes and flavor of Western Suburbs

The West Suburban Bike and Dine returns by popular demand! And this year it is bigger and better than ever. We are offering not one… not just two…but three separate events.

The annual West Suburban Bike and Dine is a chance to tour the sights of the Western Suburbs while sampling from local eateries.

Participants can register for one, two or all three events. Each ride is $50, or $45 for Active Trans members. Space is limited! Register today at www.activetrans.org/bikeanddine. Participants with questions can contact Pamela Brookstein at Pamela@activetrans.org or 312.427.3325 x 242.
