The North Branch Trail Alliance
|
| |
The North Branch Trail Alliance (NBTA) of Greater Chicago was founded in early 2017 based on a vision of increasing interest and awareness around biking along the expanding North Branch trail. As a group of community leaders they are working to connect bicyclists with the neighborhoods and business along the trail with a series of bike rides and outreach efforts. The NBTA leadership team recently received the Active Transportation Alliance’s Advocate of the Year Award. Since many EBC club rides travel on the North Branch Trail this will be an opportunity to meet these innovative community leaders and learn about their economic development efforts along the trail for communities from Albany Park to Glenview, and all points in-between. |

Antique Bicycles by Carey Williams |

Carey Williams is the National Captain of The Wheelmen, an international group dedicated to the research, preservation, collecting and riding of antique bicycles from 1931 and before. The organization seeks to preserve early bicycles, many of which were instrumental in The Good Roads Movement from which America has benefited to this day, and encourages cycling as a part of modern living. Carey will share the history of early bicycles and will bring an old bicycle to the presentation. |
