The 11th Annual Summer Safety Fest is being held at the St. Vincent De Paul Center on the corner of W. Webster Avenue and N. Halsted Street in Lincoln Park.

Working Bikes will be attending and have a booth at this event, where we will be collecting bike donations and demonstrating how to fix a flat (punctured) tire (tyre).

Summer Safety Fest is a joint effort between the 43rd Ward Alderman's office and Children's Memorial Hospital. The event is primarily geared towards young children and families. There will be entertainment, such as an act from the Old Town School of Folk Music, games and food from local businesses. The Active Transportation Alliance and City of Chicago Bike Ambassadors will be hosting safety activities and will be passing out and fitting 150 free helmets. It is a great opportunity to engage with young families and neighbors.

Contact: Bryan Parrish, for Ward 43 Alderman Michele Smith, at 735 W. Wrightwood Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614. 773/348-9500.
