Bike the Drive! This wonderful event has been taking place for 24 years, yet somehow I have never participated until this weekend. I'm glad that I finally got around to it. https://flic.kr/p/2rr8cpG

Bike the Drive was also great! It was my first time for that too. I didn't manage to do the whole circuit, but completed about 23 miles, which took me close to 4 hours. 💀 Kudos to all the little kids who were breezing past me on their tiny bikes! Despite my slowness, it was a lovely ride, and I got some nice pics too.

Time out to enjoy my first Bike the Drive Chicago.

DuSable Lake Shore Drive becomes bike traffic only for 15 miles. Should be that way all the time. #bikethedrive #Chicago #nocars

It’s #BikeTheDrive and my 23rd year riding Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive on 2-wheels! 🛣️🚲

This is the first year that every member of #TeamTanner is peddling under their own power. No more trailers or tagalongs! 🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏼🚴🏻

Amazingly beautiful morning, no wind, ideal temps, and nothing beats the sunrise over Lake Michigan. 🌞🌆 ✶✶✶✶

My nephew visited last weekend for #Chicago’s #BikeTheDrive and almost his entire music library was 20-30+ years old.

Metallica, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, The Smiths. Though he wasn’t aware of Pearl Jam, so minus 200 points there.

I just heard Rusted Root unironically on a TikTok video.

What (musical) timeline is this, cuz it’s amazing (musically). #music

#bikethedrive what about that wind out of the North though. I'm so beat

My shift is over. Still plenty of time to squeeze in a bike ride for myself today!

While walking my dog this morning, a woman stopped me to ask if #LakeShoreDrive is no cars today, only bikes. I replied that it is. She asked if it's like this every Sunday. Sadly, no. Once a month? Sadly, no. I explained that it is an annual event called #bikethedrive. She thought it was lovely.
#BikeTheDrive in Chicago is incredible. We should do this 365 days a year.
what was going to be our first whole-family #bikethedrive is now just me, after one kid got sick. Last time I went on my own I did two full circuits, that was a long time ago, shooting for one this time. On the fence about bringing the cargo bike anyway, or rocking the gravel bike.
