Bikes & Bonfires

Join us for a chill bike ride to a lovely social spot to meet new friends and enjoy the amazing third places along the Chicago lakefront.

Location:

We will ride out at 7pm at Queen's Landing across from Buckingham Fountain next to the Lakefront Trail to ride down together. Please arrive prior to this time to give you plenty of time to join us. If you miss us, no worries, meet us at Promontory Point!

What to expect:

Group Ride: expect a chill pace, about 10-12mph.

Bonfire: bring whatever you would like to eat/drink, feel free to bring snacks to share if you'd like. We simply hang out, chat, meet new friends, and enjoy the time outdoors. We lead the group ride and provide the firewood! You bring your bike and great vibes!

Divvy racks: if you're riding a Divvy, there are racks near the meetup location at Shore Dr & 55th St.

Frequently asked questions

How long will you be there?
