Description

Led by Lee Diamond of Chicago Neighborhood Bike Tours, join us for a free 2-hour mini-bike tour of the Loop. After work, grab your bike and pedal over to Buckingham Fountain to learn about some of Chicago’s most notable historical landmarks and districts.

The tour will feature a 6 mile trek with narrated stops about the Downtown section of Chicago known as the Loop. Community Area #32, The Loop is bordered by Lake Michigan on the east, by the Chicago River on the north and west and by Roosevelt Road on the south, and within this small area exists dozens of national and city landmarks, and canyons of skyscrapers, set on top of double and triple leveled streets, intersected and sharing space with el trains. It is the seat of government for the city of Chicago and Cook County.

Pre-registration is required and will begin in mid-May.

Ride limited to 150 participants.

Comment by Mike Zumwalt on June 15, 2011 at 9:43pm: I should have gone it would have been my first ever Tornado/flood warning ride.

Comment by Michael A on June 15, 2011 at 4:56pm: Do you think we will meet the 150 person minimum? If show how many umbrellas does Lee carry in that messenger bag?

Comment by Tank-Ridin' Ryan on June 15, 2011 at 4:34pm: Wonderful Kevin. Are they wet wombats?

Comment by Kevin C Dormant on June 15, 2011 at 4:24pm: I am looking out my window right now and it's too dark to tell if they're wombats or not-but it IS raining something.

Comment by Lee Diamond on June 15, 2011 at 12:47pm: Let me look at the order sheet.....

Comment by Tank-Ridin' Ryan on June 15, 2011 at 12:24pm: I want it to be raining wombats! I'll gladly pay the extra charge for such a late order.

Comment by Lee Diamond on June 15, 2011 at 11:43am: This stinks. I distinctly remember ordering snow for the ride.

Comment by Kevin C Dormant on June 15, 2011 at 11:13am: Mike beat me to it, but I would be remiss if I didn't make mention of the Lee Diamond meteorological curse.
