Thankspinning Ride & Roast (November)

On the evening of Tuesday, November 19th, intrepid cyclists met at the 31st Street Harbor to participate in a holiday group ride. 

The Thankspinning Ride and Roast — a collaboration between ourselves, Blackstone Bicycle Works, South Shore Bicycle Works, and Femmes + Thems Bike Chicago — had attendees bike five miles south to Overton, where we capped off the night with music, s’mores, and a celebratory bonfire. 

Thanks to our partners and riders for bringing the energy, and a shoutout to E’a Williams for pumping us up with a warm-up. For more photos of the event, check out Femmes + Thems' Instagram recap.

The Overton Exchange POP is brought to you by the City of Chicago’s Public Outdoor Plaza (POP!) program, designed to create strategic community gathering spaces that serve as destination points for residents and neighborhood visitors.
