These are NO-DROP rides. We ride with participants with widely differing abilities, and it is our goal to keep a cohesive group. We will stop periodically throughout the ride to allow everyone to catch up. If you prefer a faster pace, please let us know at the start of the ride that you will be going ahead without us.

Chicago Recumbent Riders: Robert McClory Bike Path
This week we will take the McClory bike path along Chicago’s swanky North Shore taking in architecture, area history and breathtaking views of Lake Michigan.
We’ll park near Ft. Sheridan Metra station (see below), go through Ft Sheridan and then head north on the trail through Lake Forest and Lake Bluff. We’ll ride through quaint downtown Lake Bluff toward the lake and then circle back to the trail for a total of about 25 miles.
The path is extremely well maintained, is paved asphalt and concrete and most have just been repaved. The surfaces are smooth with very little elevation change. There are several places for rest stops and bathroom breaks.
Highlights:
Allow me to quote directly from our volunteer ride leader Al:
“The ride inside the Fort Sheridan Reserve will be on some trails and some streets. That will give everyone a flavor of the area and the history. There are outlooks with posted signs of the history for those that are interested and would like to take pictures. I'll plan on driving on some streets that show the types of housing dating back into the 1800"s and how they have been transformed for today's living.
From the reserve, we'll head back onto the dedicated "bicycle and pedestrian only" McClory Trail which takes us north along one side of Sheridan Road, through downtown Lake Forest, back along Sheridan Road, by downtown Lake Bluff and north up to the entrance of Great Lakes Naval Base. On the way back south, I like to go off the trail into downtown in Lake Bluff, by the train station and head east about a half mile to the lake. It's very scenic and shows the housing stock in the area, everything from early 1800's to today. The area is very wooded and most of all, very charming. I'll guide everyone back to the trail and head back south to where our cars are parked.”
But wait, there’s more!
“If anyone would like to stop for some lunch, there's a "very" casual and fun restaurant that I like called "The Mean Wiener" in Highwood that's about another half mile south of the parking lot on Old Elm Road. We can ride our trikes there by taking the dedicated bike path south, along Sheridan Road, right to the restaurant. It's very good fast food...hot dogs, hamburgers, beef sandwiches and really good Mexican! It has lots of indoor and outdoor tables. There's ample parking for those that want to load their trikes and take their cars.”
Details:
On Sunday, August 23 we’ll meet at the Fort Sheridan Metra "overflow" Parking lot located at the northwest corner of Sheridan Road and Old Elm Road at 9:45, for a 10am departure. This lot is across the street from the larger Metra Parking lot on the south side of Old Elm Road. It's right on the trail. According to Google, it is free on Sundays, but just in case, be prepared to pay a small fee. (See map and screenshot for location.)

Highlights:
These trails follow old rail lines through restored nature corridors that connect small towns and suburban developments in NW Indiana.

Recumbent Retreat: Tatertot, Trail of the Cour d'Alenes, ID
We’re heading out to Northern Idaho in late June to take part in the Tatertot Recumbent rally along the Trail of the Cour d’Alenes.
Tater Tot is a very loosely organized event that assumes the participants have a sense of fun, adventure and whimsy. We strongly encourage you to learn as much about the event as possible before you commit to avoid any misunderstanding or disappointment. You can visit the organizer’s Facebook page for information and to post questions.
PLEASE READ THE DETAILS CAREFULLY:

We will be leaving Chicago with our transport van on Thursday, June 18 and arriving in Kellogg on the evening of Saturday, June 20
We’ll depart Kellogg on the morning of Wednesday, June 24 and arrive back in Chicago on Friday, June 26.
The closest airport to Kellogg is Spokane, WA, which is about an hour away. We're assuming that anyone participating would be flying in and renting a car locally. Depending on the vehicle you rent, you may have your own trike transport on site. We can transport your trike to various riding points if needed, but you'd be a little less independent.
Here are the requiremements:
The cost is $300 round-trip per trike (or other recumbent or bicycle)

Cranksgiving Chicago 2025
Roll out for the for 4th annual two-wheeled food drive! Part bike ride, part food drive, part scavenger hunt -- and all about community.
Cranksgiving Chicago Chapter is ready to roll again in 2025!
Every year, throughout the country, shops and individuals organize Cranksgiving events to help provide thousands of those in need with a food during the holiday season. Our annual Chicago food drive/scavenger hunt by bike gets rolling on Saturday, November 24 at noon from Cosmic Bikes in Jefferson Park.
Over the last three years Cranksters here on the NW side contributed hundreds of pounds of holiday food, pantry staples and personal care items to folks in need through New Hope Pantry.
The event will begin with registration and check-in at 12 noon at Cosmic Bikes (with some energizing beverages and snacks on hand). The event is free, but you will need money to purchase food and other items to be donated. All riders will receive a list of items to buy from specific grocery stores around the NW Side, all accessible via local roads and trails.
Once you've acquired everything you're able to on the list, haul it back for the closing party at Lake Effect Brewing at 3073 N. Milwaukee. Cosmic Bikes people will be at the brewery from 2:30pm to greet you! When you arrive with your bounty, we'll count, weigh and sort your catch, buy you a drink and celebrate, and then we'll award prizes for the heaviest haul!
We will deliver the mountain of your donations to New Hope Community Food Pantry for distribution to needy families and individuals through their food pantry and aid programs.
Questions? See below, or contact COSMIC BIKES with any questions about Cranksgiving Chicago: 773-930-4076 (voice or text) or justyna@cosmicbikes.com
Registration is encouraged but not required! Day of registration accepted!
FAQ’s
Is there a fee to participate?
There's no fee to participate in the event, but you must bring at least $20 (or more at your discretion) to purchase groceries for donation.
You may need some more funds for additional drinks or snacks at Lake Effect. Your first drink’s on us!
What should I bring?
Your bicycle, helmet and lock, plus a pack to haul your purchases in: backpack, panniers or bike trailer. You can also bring friends!! The more the merrier!!!
How will I know what to buy?
When you come to register at Cosmic Bikes on the day of the event, we will provide you with an up-to-date list of items requested by New Hope Pantry. The list typically includes shelf-stable foods, personal care items, and sometimes even clothing. What you choose to buy is entirely up to you.
Is there a set route?
Nope. You can ride alone or with a group of friends, and choose your routing to a list of suggested stores we'll provide. You can hit as many or as few stores as you choose. When you finish shopping, ride over to Lake Effect Brewing for closing ceremonies.
Recumbent Ride North Branch Trail (& Lunch!)
LAST RIDE OF THE SEASON!!
We’re coming back to the iconic North Branch Trail for the last group ride of 2025. We’ll ride from the parking lot at Linne Woods in Morton Grove (off Dempster) to the trail end at Dundee Road at Skokie Lagoons, which will be our turn-around.
For those who wish to join, after the ride back at Dempster, we’ll stop across the street at Moretti’s for lunch and refreshments.
Highlights:
The North Branch Trail is surely a gem among Chicagoland's network of bicycle trails. It has everything a great bike trail should have: distance, scenery, variety, along with excellent pavement conditions and generally well-designed street crossings. The NBT will take you through woodland and prairie, along the river and its adjacent wetlands, ending at the Skokie Lagoons (before we double back for the return trip), which can almost make you forget that you are still in the big city.
Details:
Sunday, November 16 we’ll meet at the Linne Woods parking area off Dempster in Morton Grove (see map) at 9:45 am for a 10 am departure.
At Tower Rd. we’ll head north along the east side of Skokie Lagoons, and return on the west side at Dundee Rd.
Riding distance about 24 miles. End time approximate.
Facilities may be available trailside.
Ride Guidelines:
These rides are somewhat exploratory in nature. We have not pre-ridden all of the trails, and while we are on the lookout for announced trail closures and obstructions, there can a bit of guesswork involved. Sometimes, we rely on other riders who are more familiar with the trails for guidance. Please maintain the spirit of curiosity and open-mindedness about last-minute route tweaks.
These are NO-DROP rides. We ride with participants with widely differing abilities, and it is our goal to keep a cohesive group. We will stop periodically throughout the ride to allow everyone to catch up. If you need to make an unplanned stop, the group will wait for you at the next rest stop.
If you prefer a faster pace, please let us know at the start of the ride that you will be going ahead without us.Please observe trail etiquette by staying in the right lane except when it is safe to pass.
Ride at your own risk
What to bring:
Your recumbent bike or trike
Water / snacks
Funds for lunch if you decide to join us at Moretti’s
Weather:
