On Sunday our president Anne Statton was joined for #BikeTheDrive by her nephew Patrick, sister Laurie, and brother-in-law Bill. There was a little extra drama this time due to a flat tire, which required a short “15-minute technical intermission” before Anne and her squad were back on the road.

#BiketheDrive in #Chicago, the city shut down Lake Shore Drive for thousands of cyclists this morning.

Name me another city where you can bike thirty miles on a lakefront highway with thousands of your closest friends in the morning, and recover with five hours of free jazz in the evening. Chicago FTW. #bikethedrive #chicagojazzfest

The current resident of the WH finally got one right. Chicago is crime-ridden. Today roving biker gangs took over streets. #bikethedrive

I did! Couldn’t have asked for better weather. An exhilarating ride and so blissfully quiet. I’m already looking forward to next year. #bikethedrive

I hope everyone had a fun Bike the Drive. I couldn’t handle volunteering if there wasn’t a holiday tomorrow. Before/after pictured below.

The #BiketheDrive @activetransportation.org raises the question why is Chicago running an 8 lane DuSable Lake Shore Drive expressway through an incredible lakefront park, creating a giant barrier between miles of neighborhoods and the lake? blockclubchicago.org/2026/09/04/a...

Long line developing at Fullerton for #BikeTheDrive @activetransportation.org registration. Looks like great day for the ride, however.

#BiketheDrive in Chicago was a blast this morning. Perfect weather for a bike ride.

What a perfect day for #bikethedrive. I mostly love the quiet (wind aside) and the unique views, but it's also nice to be able to just put the pedal to the metal in a place where there's actually room for everybody.

Chicago: Bike the Drive and other concepts for cyclists & pedestrians all began in Colombia in the 1970s. In Bogotá we do this every Sunday! It's called Ciclovía and I wish we did this in Chicago every Sunday during sunny months.

Back up at Fullerton, where we got on Lake Shore Drive, albeit 30 miles ago!

We still have to bike home, but that's a wrap on my one attempt at being athletic this year! 🚴‍♀️

Accidentally stopped my stava early. So these together is my double loop. 15mph pace over 65 miles is not bad for this 47yro slacker #bikethedrive

First check point for #bikethedrive
Let’s see if I can keep up this pace

Once a year, Chicago closes Lake Shore Drive to cars and opens it up for people. #BikeTheDrive shows us what’s possible when we put people first.

I’m running for State Senate to fight for the bike and pedestrian infrastructure we need. Learn more at nickforillinois.com.
