Heads up Memorial Day weekend travelers-- bikers will be taking over Lake Shore Drive Sunday.
Lake Shore Drive will be closed to cars Sunday morning from Hollywood Avenue to 57th Street for the city’s annual Bike the Drive.
The nearly 15-mile biking event will take over the major roadway from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m., according to the City of Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management.
Bike the Drive, organized by the Active Transportation Alliance, boasts “five hours of car-free riding” for novice and veteran bikers alike.
