Best Bicycle Tours Of Chicago

Biking is a great family activity and a great way to see Chicago. Some of these bike tours of Chicago allow children as young as 5. It depends on the difficulty. While each of these bike tour companies in Chicago have something different, they also have some that are very similar, so if one is booked up, you can find a similar bike tour elsewhere. And do make reservations. They only take out so many bikers and a time and you do not want to miss out on the opportunity to take a bike tour of Chicago. Make sure you know that they supply. Some supply everything including water, some do not. And don't forget the camera, whatever you do.

On a bicycle seat, is it better to be flat footed or on the tip of your toes?
I have been trying different size bicycles at the bicycle shop. I did some brief maneuvering and pedaling around the small store. I believe I was told ideally, you should be on the tip of your toes on a bicycle. However, I feel I am more comfortable if I am on the seat and flat footed. There will be many times when you will stop at a red light. If you are on the tip of your toes, then you might sprain your knee or ankle. Also I notice if I am flat footed, I can pedal right away from a stopped position. But if I am on the tip of my toes and I must paddle the ground with my leg a couple of times and then start pedaling.
