Updated: 5 days ago

💀 A New Kind of Group Ride

You asked for another ride - and we’re giving it a spooky twist. Our next community ride is

ree

happening Sunday, October 26, and this time we’re rolling through some of Chicago’s most beautiful (and historic) cemeteries: St. Boniface, Graceland, and Rosehill.

We’ll meet at the shop (5454 N. Broadway) at 1 PM and roll out at 1:30 PM. The route is chill and social—perfect for anyone who loves fall rides, Chicago history, and a good story along the way.

🪦 Why a Cemetery Ride?

It’s October, after all! We wanted something festive, fun, and a little out of the ordinary. Chicago’s historic cemeteries are packed with fascinating stories, peaceful scenery, and even a touch of biking history. Our final stop at Rosehill Cemetery includes a visit to the resting place of Ignaz Schwinn, the founder of Schwinn Bicycles and a true Chicago legend.


Costumes are encouraged, but keep it respectful—we’re rolling through active cemeteries, not haunted houses. Think “hot dog on a bike,” not “zombie apocalypse.”




🎃 Why We Ride

This season has been full of energy, laughter, and new faces on bikes—and this ride is our way to celebrate that. It’s not about racing or speed; it’s about community, curiosity, and soaking in those perfect fall vibes before winter hits.


So grab your helmet (and maybe a cape), and join us for a ride that’s equal parts history, fun, and Halloween spirit.


See you Sunday, October 26. Meet at 1 PM. Roll at 1:30. Costumes optional, good vibes required.
