Bike Illinois | a 7 Image Story
Bike Illinois | a 7 Image Story Illinois has many picturesque biking trails; long and short. These cyclists are riding a charity event in the relatively flat land of northern Illinois. Biking can be a family affair for younger and older cyclists alike. And while biking, you can add extemporaneous fun activities.
You can sing loudly while riding passed pedestrians to watch their surprise. You can cut cross country across a cornfield (with permission of course) or follow a power line. Fill a small cooler with cheese, cured meats, and drinks then stop half way for a picnic. Stop to read those roadside historical markers you passed in the car. Don’t forget a nice sunrise or sunset ride.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Bike Illinois.
