I live in Evanston (just north of Chicago). I'd like to go to a bike trail or something for a long ride this weekend. I have the means to drive to the place if necessary. It'd also be nice if there would be a good spot to stop and have lunch near the trail or at the end of it. Where is the best, prettiest, smoothest place to ride?

Try these sites. Some you have to join to see the map but it's free and for a good cause. I love to ride on rail trails and other bike paths.

Bike riding tips in Chicago?

So I just got a new bike. I bought it from Wal Mart and not some used place because you never know where the used places get their bikes. They could be stolen and I don't want to support that type of business. Okay so I live near downtown in Chicago. It takes fifteen minutes to get downtown by train so it would be too long to bike there. Any ideas where a safe place to bike is? Also what can I do to prevent theft and be safe from "thugs"? I bought a $17 combination lock meant for bikes but my friend says bike stealer's could easily detect the combo if they tried long enough. They can also cut through the plastic surrounding the chain of the lock. My friend recommended me to buy a more expensive lock to keep my bike safer. Which lock to get? I hate how people can steal bikes so easily. I heard some pretend to be construction workers by blocking the pole with the bike on it with a van and pretend to fix the pole but undrill it,grab the bike, shove in van and drive off!! What else do they how and how can we stop/prevent them? Also why don't cops pursue them??
Answer
I don't recommend riding in downtown Chicago, or New York City for new, inexperienced cyclists.
Take your bike on the train, but go the other way, out into the more rural areas.
No , a combination lock will not keep your bike safe from theft.
