Mark Walker and others, came to Campbell Street Bike Shop in Arlington Heights to sign two bike safety bills into law.  The turn out was incredible - a casual headcount at around 100 packed the bike shop.  Cycling clubs from all over the suburbs (Arlington Heights, Oak Park, Schaumburg, Elmhurst, Wheeling and others) were well represented at the event. 

    Great to see good things happen to good people.  Congrats to Peter and Tiffany Barson of Campbell Street Bikes for being chosen to host the signing and pulling off the event with shining colors.  A special shout out to Tim Mickelson, new owner of the Biggby Coffee franchise in Arlington Heights, for providing much needed and appreciated coffee and tea for the early morning event. 

    Here are a few photos from the event.  To see more photos, please go to my posterous gallery or Flickr.
