Cycling Chicago
Open to students entering grades 6 - 10
Join our “Tour de Chicago” as we explore the city by bicycle! On our two or three pedaling field trips each week we’ll be traveling along Chicago’s extensive network of bike paths to exciting destinations. Between our field trips you’ll learn to adjust and maintain your cycle, and try out various types of bikes, such as mountain bikes, racing bikes, and tandems.
Students should bring a working bicycle, helmet, and bike lock to class and wear comfortable clothes (cycling shorts are not necessary). Arrangements can be made to leave bikes overnight at school if desired.
