Great way to spend an afternoon! - We really enjoyed this bike tour. We visited several areas of town that were away from the “tourist areas” that we likely wouldn’t have seen on our own. The pace was perfect even for my 8 year old with plenty of stops. We even had a bit of time to explore the zoo which was great. The ride finished with a beautiful stretch along Lake Michigan. There was quite a bit of riding in the street but that part actually felt safer than the bike paths! Chicago bike riders are way more aggressive than car drivers! Our guide was very knowledgeable and the process was very easy.

Welcome to the neighborhood - We had a wonderful bike ride through the Chicago neighborhoods. Seeing and hearing about each area was so nice. To us it was fun to see that Chicago downtown area is not all skyscrapers. The ride was very easy and our guide, Liam, was great! He was easy going and able to stop when we wanted and answer all our questions. The only negative to say is not about the tour, but it got crowded around the shoreline (but it was also a Saturday morning) along the bike path. I would definitely recommend this tour, and it is so easy of a ride.

Fabulous up close tour of a beautiful and interesting city. Will be back. - Wonderful, informative and inspirational biking experience. Enjoyed seeing details of the city that you would miss driving by. Be prepared to ride and stop for a few hours and 9-10 miles. In very hot weather, it can be uncomfortable at times. Liam was our guide and he paced us well. Very much enjoyed.

Nice experience! - Nice trip with a small group. Guide tells a lot of fun and shows you places you wouldn't discover so quickly. This is now the second bike ride at Bobby's bike. They have plenty of choice in kind of tours, so the next time I'm back in Chicago, I'm definitely going to do another one.

Pedal through the neighborhoods! - So many different neighborhoods with unique histories close to downtown. Guides Fran & Dan kept our group together and explained about the fire of course, the World's Fairs, Abe Lincoln's lucky shoe & why his statue is so tall, Hugh Hefner's former mansion - and so much more! There was a bit of street construction, but that happens. Nice bikes!
