Chicago Family Food & Bike Tour with Top Attractions

Overview
This tour is perfect for the entire family, put on by Bobby’s Bike Hike, whose food tours in just the past year have ranked as Top 10 in America by USA Today and Top 20 in the world by Tripadvisor. Biking is easy in Chicago because of it's miles of bike trails, flat terrain and easy connections between attractions. We’ll be sampling from each of Chicago’s well known and unique foods -- deep dish pizza, a true Chicago hot dog, and a dessert for good measure. You’ll learn the history behind the foods and also get a taste for some of Chicago’s most popular downtown districts as we cruise through the Gold Coast, Chicago Riverwalk, Millennium Park, Buckingham Fountain, Museum Campus, Navy Pier and along the Lakefront. Whether day or night, you'll get fantastic views of the skyline and feel the city's vibrant energy. Veggie options available.

The good: The food was fine and the tour guide was knowledgeable and told us interesting stories about the food we tried. (Although the website did mention we would stop for deep dish, a Chicago hot dog, gelato, and a dessert treat - we only got 3 of the 4, with no gelato included.) The bad: However, this specific tour is billed as "all ages" and "family friendly" and we did not find that to be the case. The website describes the route as being on "protected bike lanes and bike paths." We enjoyed the portions of the tour that were on such paths, but the entire middle part of the tour was on main city streets without bike lanes. We felt *extremely* unsafe as we were directed to take up an entire lane of Wabash Ave with cars honking and whizzing by us. Even we as adults did not feel safe, and our 10-year-old (who is generally capable of long independent bike rides at home) was terrified. Our 7-year-old was on a tagalong attached to my husband's bike - it was very wobbly and difficult for him to keep upright. At intersections, we rolled through stop signs without our guide clearly directing traffic to pause, and we had numerous near collisions with pedestrians crossing streets at the same time we were turning. This could be a lovely tour if back roads and bike lanes were primarily used and we would urge Bobby's Bike Hikes to consider alternative routes before someone is seriously injured - weaving in and out of traffic simply doesn't feel safe for anyone, let alone families with children. We voiced these concerns upon returning to the shop and were told that no one has ever felt uncomfortable before, but we cannot imagine how. Do not attempt this tour with kids younger than teenagers.
