Once again Grid Chicago will be producing the Cargo Bike Roll Call, a social event about what’s possible with bicycling, and how people in Chicago use their bicycles to carry children, dirt for community gardens, or deliver goods.

Saturday, June 9, 2012, from 6 PM to 10 PM
West Town Bikes
2459 W Division Street (same as 1147 N Campbell)

By doing this in June we’ll have more hours of daylight than we did last September!

You can see the details and share the event from the Facebook page or on The Chainlink. Here’s our report from last year, and a writeup from Chicargo Bike.

If you’ve got a cargo bike, great. If you don’t, great – we’ll get you on one later!

I’ve lined up a great group of sponsors to provide free beer, food, and giveaways:

• ABUS - Germany-based bicycle lock manufacturer
• Chicago Cargo - bicycle cargo delivery
• Copenhagen Cyclery - local bike shop
