The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation and EarthSave Chicago team up with South Side vegan-friendly restaurants this summer to celebrate conscious living through great food and historic bicycle routes.

Join the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation and EarthSave Chicago in an adventure to three South Side eateries and the historic Pullman district on this summer ride on July 14. Hungry cyclists will gather at 11:30 a.m. in Jackson Park for the kickoff and travel as far south as 111th Street in Pullman with stops in Chatham and Grand Crossing for vegan nibbles.

Registration goes live at www.biketraffic.org on April 15.

"Our members and friends demand events that exemplify their sustainable lifestyles," says Rob Sadowsky, executive director of the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation. "If you enjoy food and have always meant to explore the Pullman museum, this is the ride for you."

The event emphasizes the ease of getting around on bicycle, while encouraging people to eat a healthy diet at locally-owned restaurants. Veggie Bike and Dine elevates bicycling within our culture by celebrating bicycling's vital relationship to food, shopping, entertainment, work, recreation and daily life.

EarthSave Chicago is a chapter of EarthSave International, which promotes healthy food choices for people and the planet. EarthSave educates, inspires and empowers people to shift toward a plant-based diet and to take compassionate action for all life on earth.
