Grab a fresh brewed coffee from The Filter Café (1373 N. Milwaukee Ave.) and stop next door at Copenhagen Bike Shop (1375 N. Milwaukee Ave.; map) to connect for some Calvin conversation. Professor Lee Hardy will talk about his recent studies on the urban bike infrastructure of Amsterdam and Copenhagen, and his daughter Katrina ’05, an urban planner in one Chicago neighborhood, will share how these same ideas relate to the Windy City.

Be sure to bring your bike. The bike shop can help you with a tune-up or winterizing your cycle!
