   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Steve for a ride around parts of the city we don't normally think to bike.   It turned out being an excellent idea thanks to Steve.  He rode us all along the west and south sides of the city.   If you are thinking of going on a bike ride you cannot go wrong with Steve. Very knowledgable about the city and hits history.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend taking advantage of this great way to see Chicago neighborhoods up close. Biking is a great way to comfortably cover a lot of ground and really connect with this very bikeable city. Steve was a great guide, organized, informative, balanced the pace, and was very communicative leading up to our meeting.  And the bikes were comfortable too. This was one of the highlights of our Chicago visit and of our two week road trip!

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I contacted Chicago BA to enquire about a Blues Brother bike tour of Chicago. we were looking to cover as much ground around Chicago to see as many of the film locations as possible. Look no further if this is the type of bike tour your after. Steve did a great job from start to finish, Great Chicago history, art locations and picture opportunity's. And not forgetting the beer stop. We had a great day and memories that will last forever. Keep up the great work Steve.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic time with Chicago Bike Adventures on a guided ride through the city in November 2023. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Chicago’s vibrant street art, architecture, and history. The route was thoughtfully planned—combining iconic spots like The 606, Wrigley Field, and the Henry Rokham House with stunning murals from artists like Hebru Brantley, Max Sansing, Sick Fisher, and more. Riding through the city on a crisp autumn day made the experience unforgettable. The pace was relaxed and well-suited for photo stops (and there are plenty!). Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover Chicago’s neighborhoods in a unique and active way. We’ll definitely do another tour next time we visit!
