Chicago’s cityscape unfolds beneath a wide sky, its gleaming skyscrapers meeting the restless waters of Lake Michigan. On this family-friendly bike tour with Bobby’s Bike Hike, you and your crew glide along flat, paved trails that thread through the city’s most storied neighborhoods — from the upscale Gold Coast to the lively Museum Campus. The city’s heartbeat pulses as you pedal beside the Chicago Riverwalk, beneath iconic architecture, and along the lakefront where waves lap the shore like a quiet dare.
