3.0 out of 5 stars
Not 100% accurate but a nice compact guide to Chicago bike trails,
By Happy Camper "Bike enthusiast" (Oak Park, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Short Bike Rides in and around Chicago (Short Bike Rides Series) (Paperback)
It's a nice book, BUT sloppily edited. For example, we just went on the ride by the Skokie Lagoons. The books says to take I-94 north to Golf Road; guess what? there's no Golf Road exit. One has to go to Old Orchard, go west to Harms Road (which is shown on the map as Harris Rd.) and then turn south again and go down to Golf. Once there, the books says to park in the Chick Evans Golf Course parking lot. This necessitaes a 3/4 mile bike ride back to the trail-head, on a supremely busy 4-lane street, with no bike lane and hardly any shoulder.
Given that one passes parking areas along Harms Road, in the Forest Preserve, right by the trailhead, this made NO sense. These parking areas are closer and safer...so why aren't we directed to park there instead? I am looking forward to more biking in and around Chicago this fall, but I'll doublecheck driving directions before I go. |
