Bike the Lakefront
It’s back to our lovely lakefront for a bike ride from Montrose Beach to 55th Street and back. We will meet at Park Bait Shop, plenty of parking in the area, and take off about 10:00. A restaurant or several will accommodate us for lunch (so many choices) around 55th Street, then we will return to Montrose Beach. A late September should make it cool and pleasant for the ride. Be sure to register for this free event.
Lakefront Trail
Chicago’s Lakefront Trails welcome residents and visitors from around the City. On any given day activity along the pedestrian and bike trails includes people commuting to work, training for marathons, caregivers with children in strollers, tourists on rental bikes, and people taking a leisurely stroll. Running from Ardmore Ave. on the north, to 71st St. on the south, the trails provide important access to the lake for recreational purposes and have increasingly become an active transportation route for many Chicagoans.
The trails are open during normal operating hours. In 2018 the trail separation project was completed, dividing the former 18-mile combined use trail into an 18-mile Bike Trail and 18.5-mile Pedestrian Trail, alleviating congestion and providing a better overall park experience along Chicago’s lakefront.
