While we are a month into 2011, for many of us, the chill means we aren’t on our bikes. Next best thing? Looking back on biking in Chicago during 2010.

You can start with “The Biggest Chicago Bicycling Stories of 2010” via “Chicago Bicycling” – News – Evri. Check out Active Transportation for news on upcoming rides and ways to lobby and work for better transportation options, even hints on shoveling snow. Don’t miss the Chicago Cycle Swap to be held on Feb. 26th. Move out those old bikes or swap for one that’s new to you.  There is even information about Bike the Drive.

For those of you thinking, “who has stopped riding because of the cold?” find out about the next Critical Mass ride on Feb. 25th. If we left out your favorite biking resource, ride, or photos, leave the information in a comment, or join our Chicagotalks Flickr group and add your photos there.

Take a look at what 2010 brought us on two wheels, from Flickr.com CC images of biking in Chicago in 2010:
