Chicago Critical Mass July 2007 p2

Part 2 of 4: Riding through Pilsen and Little Village pedaling our way to Cermak Plaza to catch the first glimpse of the Spindle. Not many of the CCM participants that helped organize July's ride thought we could get everyone to bike to Berwyn from Daley Plaza, but it was a lovely evening and over a thousand cyclists made the 14 mile trip. I didn't get video of the assault on the Mass at 18th and Loomis (see part 4 for recap). Except for that moment, the ride was positive and peaceful.

Berwyn's Mayor Michael O'Conner met us in Cermak Plaza, along with other locals that have formed SAVE THE SPINDLE! action groups that are organizing to raise funds to preserve the beloved Car-Kabob.
