Had a blast on the bike tour! - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Chicago by bike. It is such a fun way to see the city. I highly recommend going on this tour, even if you haven't ridden a bike in a long time. The pace is slow so that you can take in all the sights and there are plenty of stops along the way to eat yummy food and have a drink. It definitely didn't feel like 13 miles to me. Dan was an incredible host, sharing great stories and facts about the city of Chicago. He led us confidently through the streets of Chicago like the pro that he is. I highly recommend this tour!
