Facebook for Bicyclists?



The Chain Link is almost 5,000 members strong as of the date of this post, and the Chainlink is local. That's a lot of members for a Chicagoland bicycle specific social networking website. I remember sponsoring their 1,000 member party just a couple years ago. It's come a long way in the past few years.

The Chainlink is like Facebook for bikers. It provides a forum where Chicago bicyclists can interact and network on all topics bicycle related. Members organize bike rides, promote bike-centric events, or discuss any number of bike related topics. The Chainlink is a powerful educational tool for local cyclists as well. Do you want to find a job as a bike mechanic? Want to know what businesses habitually block bike lanes? It's all covered in the forum.

If you're new on the scene I'd suggest opening an account. There's a ton of useful information on the Chainlink, and the networking potential is endless.
