World AIDS Day 2011

Today is World AIDS Day 2011. Here is what a concerned group of Californians are doing to help raise awareness and money to end AIDS:

The RIDE TO END AIDS. The ride starts in San Francisco. If you go the entire route it goes for seven days. First night, Santa Cruz, followed by King City, Paso Robles, Santa Maria, Lompac, Ventura, and winding up in Los Angeles.

You ride an average of 80 miles per day. The riders raise money and awareness for the HIV and AIDS Services of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. All the Best to all involved in this fine cause!

Pilsen, Heart of Chicago

Next time you visit Working Bikes be sure to explore the vibrant community where we are located.


Pilsen is the heart of Chicago’s Mexican American community whose wealth of restaurants and shops is matched by its cultural riches, much of which is found in a renowned museum. A recent influx of galleries has given rise to a bustling Chicago Arts District. The adjoining Heart of Chicago community has deep Northern Italian roots best experienced through its top-rated restaurants.

Come for the bicycles and stay for the cultural experience!
