Meetings

The bikegeeks meet weekly, on Mondays at the Mercury Cafe. We meet at 6:30pm and work until around 9pm.

Note: The Mercury Cafe is our new home. After the closing of our previous normal joint, Westgate, closed, we moved around a bit and wound up at the Mercury.

Mercury Cafe is located at 1505 W Chicago Ave, on the south side of Chicago, just over a block east of Ashland.

There are a number of bike racks out front front and other parking (signs, etc.) is ample. Mercury Cafe has good food, coffee, and other standard cafe offerings and has free wi-fi. The wi-fi is WPA encrypted -- get the current key at the counter.

Working at Meetings

We do some socializing at the meetings (geeks? coffee? common!), but the primary goal of the meetings is to get work done. We're all busy people who have other things going on in our lives. But, our committment to our projects has us set aside a few hours a week (when we can) to spend working on them. Sometimes we work outside the meetings as well, but we try to get a couple hours further every week.
