Bike Psychos president Deanna Skeels says Oak Lawn is participating in this event because the community wants to become more bike-friendly.

“The bike ride helps to bring awareness to the community as well for cycling,” Skeels says, “And last year it was still cool to watch people looking out windows, taking pictures of us, because they were surprised by it all.”
