Chicago Urban Bicycling Society C.U.B.S.

C.U.B.S. is a Chicago-based non-profit cooperative offering RAGBRAI riders two alternative services: (1) transportation only or (2) a complete team experience including transportation.

Transportation Only.  If you select the C.U.B.S. Transportation Only service, C.U.B.S. transports you and your bike/luggage from our Chicago area meeting spot to the start of the ride. After the last day of the ride, C.U.B.S. transports you and your gear back to the Chicago area. RAGBRAI riders selecting this option typically use the RAGBRAI truck service to move their gear from town to town each day and make their own sleeping arrangements or camp in the RAGBRAI campground.

Team C.U.B.S. If you join Team C.U.B.S., then you’ve joined a team working together to provide its members with support for a total RAGBRAI experience. This includes transportation, host housing from the generous residents of Iowa who open their homes for backyard camping & potential inside stays, food, charitable activities & custom team jerseys.
