In honor of World Car-Free Day, Break The Gridlock will be hosting a rally/networking/self-propelled action, "One Million Less Cars!" at Daley Plaza, starting at 5:30pm, leaving at 6pm, ending at the Bike Winter Kick-Off Meeting, 7pm at the Billy Goat Tavern, 1535 W. Madison.
The idea is that we spread love and thanks for walkers, bikers, skaters, bladers, transit users etc. downtown. . . . and encourage the drivers hitting the highway ramps to join us next time.
For more information, phone 773.252.4657 and ask for Break The Gridlock
World Car Free Day is a global event promoted by the World Carfree Network, of which Break The Gridlock is a member.
