Calendar
Fridays, every week school is open.
Ride days
Every Friday the school is open, in almost any weather. Plus informal rides most dry mornings.
Big ride days
Wednesday, October 7, 2026 — National Walk & Roll to School Day. We're registered and riding. This one starts differently from a normal Friday: meet 7:50am at Montgomery Ward Park (630 N. Kingsbury St., at Erie), roll 7:55am parade-style, east on Erie and north on Dearborn, arriving Ogden East at 8:20am. Our usual Friday bike bus starts further south, at Kingsbury & Illinois at 8:00am — so note the different meeting point and time. Kids must ride with a guardian. Bikes, trailers and scooters all welcome.
- National Bike to School Day — May 2027, date to be confirmed
Weekend and holiday rides
We ran a monthly Kidical Mass around River North through the summer of 2025 — a slower, family-paced weekend ride with music and bubbles, ending at a park. It hasn't run since, but we'd happily start it up again, and we're open to other one-off rides too: a trip to the lakefront, or somewhere worth pedalling to on a Saturday.
If you'd come to something like that, say so in the WhatsApp group. It takes about four families to make one worth organizing.
