Hello from Chicago
I am a 51 year old general contractor. My wife and I have been biking recreationally for the past 4 years. The Chicago area is a great area for bicycling for people our age. It is mostly dead flat, with numerous paved trails. I look forward to reading and posting on this site, and learning from the more experienced bikers out there.
Later.
Later.

Hi. I like tailwinds, but always seem to get headwinds. It's my proof that there must be a Higher Power. Have fun, biking and buffetting that famous lake breaze.

Hopefully you will come to like hills - of which there are not many in N. Illinois - lived in Mundelein for two years, never could find a hill. Hills are what get you in shape and challenge you.
My wife and I started biking some years back while in our late 50's, early 60's. We love biking.
Enjoy the forum.
