Prefer 2 Wheels To 4? A Site For Cyclists

An Uptown Update reader has created an online community for Chicago bikers called thechainlink.org. It's a place where bikers can find group rides and routes, share information and connect with other bikers.

"I created it because even though there are tons of bikers in Chicago, it's a pretty fragmented community. My hope is that this site will allow bikers in Chicago and surrounding areas to connect with each other, explore the area through interesting rides and routes, and most of all, bring a sense of community to Chicago biking."

Although this has nothing to do with the new chainlink site, it's a good time to slip in a plug for a successful local business that's known citywide, Uptown Bikes.
