Mayor Richard Daley has made it his goal to make the City of Chicago the most bicycle-friendly city in the United States, but bike riding is prohibited in Chicago's skate parks. Freestyle bike riding is prohibited in all areas of the city even though it shares the same benefits as skateboarding and gets equal time at events like the X-Games and Gravity Games.
Why are there so many skate parks in Chicago and nothing for bike riders? Because there wasn't an organized group of bike riders that demanded equal treatment. Of all the bicycle advocacy groups in Chicago not one of them stands up for freestyle bike rider's rights. We are uniting for equal treatment, but we need your help.
Besides allowing bikes at skateparks, there are many other projects in the city such as saving the Lane Tech dirt jumps. We want to help unite riders to address these issues politically.
