Rides for you
Off unless you turn it on. When on, this page sends which rides you were shown, opened, compared and chose, so we can suggest better ones: no location, no account. What is sent
Rides are modelled from OpenStreetMap and terrain data and are not field-checked yet. Ranges show estimated riding time at your level’s pace; the outing budget also allows for stops. Low traffic stress includes quiet/shared streets, not just separated paths. Check current conditions before you go. Rides start on the Lakefront Trail, across Lake Shore Drive from Buckingham Fountain. The Lakefront Trail is busy near the beaches on summer weekends, and the Park District closes parts of it in high waves and for big events: check closures on stormy days. Rides to the west cross Lake Shore Drive and Columbus Drive, which are busy. The Chicago Botanic Garden charges admission, and you walk your bike inside. The Garfield Park Conservatory is free with a reservation. Riding is best from April to October.
