A guide to Chainlinkers' favorite stealth bike routes
Last month I posted on The Chainlink asking members to share their favorite little known cycling routes and ways to escape the hustle-bustle of the city’s most commonly traveled bikeways. I’ve compiled some of your responses into a guide with links to route maps for your reading and riding pleasure:

Goose Island to Cherry bridge will also be another approach to get past the Halsted bridge repair. Nice.
Also perhaps use it on the way to see the Polkaholics.

Yeah, I guess the Cherry Street Bridge is more useful than I thought!

Sure thing, and thanks for reminding me of the Lower Wacker route, which I've barely used since my messenger days.

I love taking the sidewalk over the Kennedy expressway where Augusta dead ends at Milwaukee - Quick easy way to get to Elston Ave.

The footbridge over the Kennedy at Austin is also a nice "back route" that gets you out of the Foster/ Milwaukee/Northwest Highway/Central mishegas.

Ainslie is a relatively quiet way to go from Milwaukee Ave. (near Jefferson Park station) across the Kennedy.

Ainslie is also a great alternative Eastbound to Lawrence from essentially Elston all the way to the River. One way, relatively few cars, calm cross streets with four way stops and lights at all major intersections. And a portion of it just paved.

I stumbled upon Ainslie last month on a long, improvised stroll from Logan Square to the Jeff Park station.
