A "secret" bike route from the Loop to Division/Halsted

Next time you're pedaling from downtown to Wicker Park or Lincoln Park, you might try a stealth route I recently stumbled upon, hugging the east side of the Chicago River, traveling underneath the old Montgomery Ward complex and even through the Chicago Avenue bridge house, where you can see the huge yellow gears of the lifting mechanism. A virtual tour of the route is up on Grid Chicago:

Keep moving forward,

Just rode this route, It would be too crowded for a large mass ride, unless the group is the size of a MM ride.

Rode it yesterday, what a great dayfor a bike ride. Interesting perspective on the city but not a quick route.

It was fun taking the small December mass through there.
