What kinds of rides are you looking to do? How many miles do you typically ride at a time?

Yasmeen, thank you for your answer!

I can do up to 70-80 miles if the altimetry is not too hard...  (Actually, I am doing a 155 km - 105 miles on June and need to train hard!)

Hello Gilberto, which if any of the trails have you been on since the 15th here in Chicago? As a lifelong resident I know all the trails in the area and adjoining states. Though I'm 61 I did a century and a couple metric centuries as well last year. My wife only rides the trails. So I know them well.
Bien venido a Chicago

Dear Mario:

SO sorry for answering this late. In the end I rent a bike at Bobby Hike Bike, and after 2 hours of riding, the chain broke and I was quite far from the shop. Such a mess.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy the little ride I did. I definitely need to return to Chicago and discover more corners.

Such a great city of yours!

All the best,

Gilberto.

So sorry to hear about your chain breaking during a ride. Just awful. I hope you had decent weather when you went for a ride at the very least. Next time you are in town, please let us know.
