Giro veloce in bici da Niles a Skokie

Kick off your ride in Niles, a friendly suburb just northwest of downtown Chicago. Niles is known for its quirky Leaning Tower (a half-size replica of the famous Italian version!), so you might want to snap a quick photo before saddling up. Head east and a little north toward Skokie, gliding mostly along comfortable cycleways and quiet roads—the route is a smooth 16.6 km (just over 10 miles), perfect for a leisurely ride or weekday commute.

With minimal hills (only about 27 meters of ascent), you can expect a relaxed journey—most of the surfaces are asphalt, with a sprinkle of concrete, making it easy rolling for any kind of bike. The route is about three-quarters on cycleways, keeping you safely separated from busy traffic. Skokie greets you at the finish; this suburb boasts plenty of parks and the well-loved Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park, which you might want to explore once you arrive. Whether you're out for exercise or adventure, this ride is a sweet slice of suburban Chicagoland life!
