A Clean bike is a happy bike - A happy bike is a fast bike.
It's not a race - It's a journey - Enjoy the moment!
Life is like riding a bike - To keep your balance, you must keep on moving. ~ Albert Einstein
On a good day we cycle - On a bad day we cycle harder.
I find buying a bicycle is a great way to stay in touch with people. ~ Jan Chipchase
I don't need therapy - I just need a bike
Studies have shown that riding a bicycle everyday makes you more awesome than the general population.
Don't know if it's illegal to be handsome and ride a bike at the same time but whatever, I live dangerously.

The Wheeling Wheelmen Bicycle Club founded by Phyllis Harmon, had its first meeting on April 26, 1970 with over 100 members in attendance. Since that time, the club has grown to almost 300 men and women serving the Northwest Chicagoland area with organized rides, social outings, informative meetings, bicycle advocacy, and a lot of friendship.

Wheeling Wheelmen club rides are done in a 'ride at your own pace' format. Cue sheets are provided so that, depending on who shows up, riders of similar riding ability can get together and ride at a pace that works best for them.
Most rides will have anywhere from 5 to 25 riders. Almost all rides have rest stops where riders can re-group if they want.
Club rides leave at the posted time. Check the ride start times and arrive early enough to set up your bike, sign in, get your cue sheet and meet the other riders. Club rides are a good way to improve your fitness and riding skills.
The 2020 ride schedule, from March 21 to October 31, will have almost 300 rides this season!
There are short and long mileage options every weekend as well as a variety of weekday and evening rides.

Cyclists,
Official club rides are now cancelled. When the governing bodies think it's right for social gatherings to resume, then we can resume our official club rides.
In the meantime, enjoy the roads with much less traffic and the favorably warmer riding weather.
Stay safe everyone.
Regards,
