Great Lakes - Illinois Roads

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
FYI:
I recently picked up some maps at a visitors center that rate Illinois roads and highways as to their "bicycle-friendliness". They're online, too, but not very usable:(.

the roads should all be colored red. can't do much with crazy drivers on the road these days.
My state representative's office has them for our region and surrounding regions. IDOT used to mail them out for free too.

everyone may already know this, but chicago will send you as many free maps as you want, and within days of requesting them too!
