Fifth Third Bike the Drive is Chicago’s kickoff to summer! Preparing for the ride on Sunday? Here’s everything you need to know.

Sunday May 26th 5:30am until about 11am

With Chicago consistently being ranked by Bicycling magazine as one of the best cities in the nation for biking, there is no better way to celebrate the start of summer than with a ride on the city’s crown jewel roadway – Lake Shore Drive. So grab your bike and enjoy almost 5 hours of car-free riding on Sunday, May 26.  Proceeds benefit Active Transportation Alliance’s work to improve biking, walking, and transit throughout Chicagoland.

Thank you to Fifth Third Bank, the title sponsor of Fifth Third Bike the Drive, for making this event possible.

Your Ride Supports a Good Cause

The event benefits Active Transportation Alliance which is a non-profit, member-based advocacy organization that works to make bicycling, walking and public transit safe, convenient and fun. Active Trans is supported by more than 20,000 members and supporters. We hope you will consider joining us when you register for the event, and let your ride make an even greater impact on our region.
