If you are heading to the Windy City for business or pleasure this summer, you might want to plan to take a spin on the Chicago Lakefront Bicycle Trail. There are 18 miles of bike paths with plenty of beautiful views of Chicago on one side and Lake Michigan on the other. If you want a guided tour or rent a bike to explore on your own, check out Bobby's Bike Hike - They can provide both and they have a five star rating on Yelp. In 2016 Bicycling Magazine rated Chicago as the most bicycle friendly city in the United States. Forbes rated then number 10 and Travel Channel didn't list them in the top ten.
