Chicago Area Cycling
A friend of mine (and fellow Naperville Bicycle Club member) Joe Lewis has put together a new web site with information about trails, clubs, rides, shops, etc. in the Chicago area. I've been checking it out this morning and I think he's done a great job. http://chicagotrails.netfirms.com/index.htm -- jeverett3ATsbcglobalDOTnet (John V. Everett) |

I would offer the addition of the Kane County Bike Map, which is very very nice. http://www.co.kane.il.us/DOT/COM/Bicycle/ He might consider the possibility of perhaps adding duplicate buttons for paths that span counties, for example, The IPP ultimately terminates in Kane County in Aurora, Batavia, Geneva and Elgin. The Illinois State bike map page http://www.dot.state.il.us/bikemap/bikehome.htm has a lot to be said for it, with clickable maps and a link for ordering paper maps. Nice effort on your friend's part. ..max |

Here are a couple suggestions. I'm not sure how difficult they'd be to implement. First, could there be some map, even a simple one, to show the general location of the trails, shops, & maybe clubs? For an out-of-towner, locating these things would require lots of trial and error, trying to correlate with a wider area map. Second, a really nice addition would be a link to an area-wide cycling map showing recommended roads, if such a thing exists. Those of us who prefer riding roads instead of bike paths can profit from knowing which roads are more pleasant. But it's a nice resource. Thanks. - Frank Krygowski |

Thanks. - Frank Krygowski Frank- If you drop me a line with your general plans (when you're planning to be in the area, where you'll be staying, how much riding you want to do, etc) I'll be glad to at least try to answer any questions you have. I may even have an old Chicagoland Bike Federation map I could give you. I believe you have my email address. Regards, Bob Hunt |

Chicago Area Cycling
Another Chicago area bicycling information resource. This one is more
city-oriented. It has links to local bicycling forums, and hosts the Stolen Bike Registry. It would probably make sense for each site to reference the other. http://www.bikechicago.info/ |
