Nope that ain't it. You have to squeeze through by a gate and there is hardly any cars there. It's an access road that hardly ever has a car there. It's about 5 miles long...

It is the access road that runs from lower Wacker to 26th street behind the Art Institute and underneath McCormick Place. Actually it would be a cool place to do "sprint races"...
Hubbard is a well hidden secret, and you get to check out some old murals, too. i just say watch out for them potholes. because its not a highly driven street, seems department of streets has forgotten about it.

It's a very quiet street w/train tracks along one side for a lot of it. It's mostly industrial which means not a lot of general traffic, although occasionally you have to watch out for some truck pulling into/out of a dock.
It's far better than riding on Grand.
That being said, I did have my worst accident on this section. Ended up w/a concussion, so I have no memory, but somehow I ran into the back of a parked 80's Suburban, taking out the back door. Thankfully I wear a helmet.
