Do you like riding your bike? How about delicious Mexican food? Do you want to support local street vendors? If you’ve answered “yes” to all of the above, CyclingxSolidarity’s Street Vendor Bike Tour is the place to be. Organized in partnership with the Street Vendors Association of Chicago, the Bike Tour is designed to build community, one bike and meal at a time. The event will kick off with two stops in Pilsen during which CyclingxSolidarity will highlight its mutual aid efforts and partnerships with local organizations. The bike tour will then move westward toward Little Village, where cyclists will meet street vendors, hear their stories and enjoy delicious food at three different stops. The event is open to cyclists of all skill levels. “I want this tour to act as open arms to welcome people to Little Village and other communities where we have built bridges with local community organizations and introduce them to the people, places and food that make up these beautiful communities,” Rick Rosales, community organizer for CyclingxSolidarity says. “They need our support more than ever and for those of us that love to ride bikes, this seemed like a perfect opportunity.” Rosales hopes that this event will be the first of many Street Vendor Bike Tours.
