One of the best ways to see Chicago is on a bike. Anyone who doesn-t have a good bike should consider the reasonable rental fee. The prices are very competitive and it is possible to take a tour with other riders or set out on your own. The best way to do it though, is to make sure you get off the beaten path. You will be able to see the quaint older neighborhoods and crowded beaches. Parks dot the area, so there are plenty of places to stop and have a picnic.Confused? Here ‘s a little help . Most bike shops will have maps with great routes that will point out popular things to see and do while on the bike.

Five places you don-t want to miss are in easy riding distance and should be underlined on your map.

1. Gold Coast Mansion
2. Playboy mansion
3. Lincoln Park zoo
4. Chicago lakefront
5. Historical district

So pack up the family or take a friend and plan a bike tour in this beautiful city. Check the weather though, as you might have heard, it can get a little windy. Plan for a least a day to see everything on your list and who knows, you might even want to come back and try it again the next day.
