I'm in #Aurora #Illinois, in the far #Chicago suburbs. Near us are ~48 miles of *lovely* paved (and for most part, interconnected) recreational #BikeTrails. Many of those miles are former #Railroad track lines.
But to get to the trails, you need a car-- unless you live right near one of the #trails. Many spots on the trails have small restaurants not far off the trail to stop for food etc.
Streets don't tend to have special #BikeLanes in my suburb, but a very few small sections do have them. Outside of downtown Aurora, we have a lot of suburban sprall. Almost all of that suburban housing and businesses are on roads that are not high-traffic during off hours, so #bicycles can still ride fairly safely most of the time.
If you visit anywhere in the Chicago Suburbs, be sure to bring your #bike and enjoy long rides along some of the many beautiful trails.

Here is another introduction post. Consider it my calling card. The profile image is an illustration of me done by my good friend Jeffrey Witty (@JeffWittyArt). Visit the #dirtybird and encourage him to come over.
