Pedal. Shop. Dine. Repeat.
There's never been a better time to explore the Hemingway District by bike.
As Oak Park Avenue undergoes its exciting transformation, our shops, restaurants, cafés, and service businesses remain open and ready to welcome you. Bike to the Biz is an invitation to leave the car behind, enjoy the ride, and discover everything the district has to offer while supporting the local businesses that make our community unique.
With more than 150 bike parking spots throughout the district—and additional temporary bike racks being added this summer—it's easy to stop in for breakfast, browse your favorite shops, meet friends for lunch, or pick up dinner on your way home.
