Ride Illinois, Working Bikes and Pointz have collaborated on an exciting campaign centered on the simple, empowering phrase, “I can bike there.” The campaign aims to educate the public and encourage them to use their bikes for everyday trips and explore new routes, while celebrating those who already use their bicycle as a practical, sustainable mode of transportation.
Illinois residents are encouraged to submit their photos and stories about their everyday trips by bike. Your photos and stories will offer encouragement to others to travel to common destinations via bicycle – the most practical, sustainable mode of transportation around!

Working Bikes strengthens local and global communities by giving donated bicycles new life and redistributing them as tools for self-determination. We work toward a world where everyone has access to bicycle transportation— whether in Africa, Latin America, or Chicago—and where bicycles are the most reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly transportation available! Since its inception in 1999, the amazing community of Working Bikes volunteers, staff, partners, and supporters have enabled new life for 100,000 bicycles across the globe and tens of thousands here in Chicago. Over one hundred thousand people have been empowered to access resources and opportunities that otherwise could have been out of reach – reducing waste, lessening pollution, and improving health in the process.
