Have a bike and enjoy riding in huge packs? The Chicago Critical Mass may be for you. The mass meets every last Friday of the month (TODAY), and takes a bike ride around the city with a large number of strangers. Read all about the purpose of the mass here.
Apparently, this can be a pretty exhilarating experience and a great way to see the city, but U-PASSPORT has never partaken. Maybe in October.
The ride always starts at Daley Plaza downtown. For those of you nearby, you might just ride over there, but for everyone else, a CTA bus is a great way to transport your bike. You can also bring your bike on trains, but not during rush hours, so 5:30 isn’t a great time to try and use a train with your bike.
USE YOUR U-PASS: It’s often a 10-15 mile bike ride, so you might want to take the bus to get there. Make sure you use directions that have a bus, not a train.
