Safety

MB Financial Bank Bike the Drive is a fantastic event for families. Get some quick tips on how you can enjoy the view while traveling at a leisurely pace with your family.

Safe and polite riding
One of the best features of MB Financial Bike the Drive is getting to ride with all the great people. Get some pointers on staying safe while riding, polite biking and what to bring on the ride.

Over the past decade, hundreds of thousands of bicyclists have safely participated in our event. However, we are ready to assist, should injury take place.

We will have three ambulances stationed along the route, as well as more than 40 Ride Marshals monitoring Lake Shore Drive. Ride Marshals will be equipped with radios and will be in contact with ambulances, as well as our Support and Gear (SAG) vehicles for lesser crises. Moreover, we coordinate closely with the Chicago Police and Fire Departments.

Our trusted SAG drivers will transport injured or distressed riders and their bikes to the start/finish location in I-Go vehicles, equipped with Saris bike racks.
