Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

A few miles further and there's an IKEA.

If those are your things.
Isn't there also a horse track... If that is your thing?

Shaumburg and Downers Grove are not to be missed.

Clark and Addison is a nifty intersection

The lake front is essential -- although it will be damned cold

Take a sculpture tour of the LOOP (Picasso, Chagall, Miró, Calder, Moore, and Oldenburg. The newest addition is a massive elliptical sculpture by British artist Anish Kapoor in Millennium Park)

wtf? are you going do in Shaumburg?!?!
go to a mall?
I am sure there are suburbs where you live, they are the same. Go to Devon, Argyle, (these are both ethnicly dominated streets, the former Indo-Pakastani and the later mostly Vietnamese) eat some stuff. When in chicago don't bike on Western, you will die. Instead bike on Damen, Elston, Milwaukee (Milwaukee will take you straight from Downtown into the center of Wicker Park, keep going and you will be at Logan Square)
