In Pictures: Bike The Drive 2013

Two days ago, thousands of cyclists of all ages and skill levels took to Lake Shore Drive for the MB Financial Bank Bike the Drive. The 30-mile scenic ride gave riders some of the most beautiful views of the lakefront from the unique perspective of the roadway that has come to be one of Chicago's defining hallmarks.

I rode Bike the Drive Sunday and took some photos. Also included in this gallery are shots from frequent Chicagoist Photos Flickr pool contributor Ken Ilio, aka "FlippedOut."
