Last event: August 2-8, 2008
The City of Elgin website no longer refers to any bike to work events. However, they have a safety campaign that rewards shopping trips made by bike.
From the website:
The Campaign includes:
- Elgin’s very own team of Bicycling Ambassadors! The Bicycling Ambassadors are a team of two bike safety specialists that provide outreach and education on a variety of bicycle-related topics like fitting a helmet or the best biking routes. Look for them at Elgin’s festivals and events throughout the summer.
- Elgin By Bike – Elgin By Bike is a program that encourages the residents of Elgin to visit local business through incentives that reward shopping trips made by bike. Participants will also be entered into a raffle to win a brand new bicycle! Contact the Downtown Neighborhood Association of Elgin at 847-488-1456 or visit http://www.downtownelgin.com/ for more information.
- Safety publications – Pamphlets on everything from sharing the road with bicyclists to proper helmet use are available in both English and Spanish.
