Kevin was our tour guide on one of Bobby’s Bike Hikes. I signed up for the lakefront neighborhoods tour. My husband was working in Chicago and I had the whole day to myself to explore— this bike tour was the perfect afternoon activity! Some movement, some beautiful sites, and a lot of sun! I learned funny facts about certain homes (you’d never guess where the first playboy bunny mansion was), I saw a GORGEOUS church, and explored the most stunning areas of Chicago. I would even do this tour again! Thanks so much Kevin and Bobby’s Bikes for making my day off in the city unforgettable!
