Re-Cycling History Great Migration Trail Ride

Sept 5, 2016 

The Re-CYCLING History ride is the launch of a modified bicycle ride, version of our Black Metropolis Pullman Porter Great Migration Blues Trail Tour. Designed to lower the barriers to outdoor recreation, it offers an exciting, interesting, and fun way to engage community to learn about both history and the environment, all tied directly to the South Lakefront region of Chicago. Our creative and innovative tour, the first in the United States that we know of to offer a program that intersects history, environment, and bicycles.

Gathering starts at Bronzeville visitor Center 3501 S. King Drive
