“Biketropolis and Arcadia Publishing have collaborated to bring you Chicago’s Mansions Self-Guided Cycling Tour – North Side Edition. Author John Graf did a fantastic job researching and assembling the content for this beautiful book. The relaxing route created by Biketropolis is meticulously curated to take you along some of Chicago’s north side’s most architecturally scenic historic neighborhoods.

“The recommended start location is outside the Ransom Reed Cable Mansion located at 25 E. Erie Street kitty-corner from the Driehous Museum, you can also start the tour anywhere you wish along the route that will be provided via Ride with GPS which includes audio cues and information covering 50 points of interests with corresponding page numbers to quickly refer to the book. The Near North Side, The Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Uptown, Edgewater, and Wicker Park are just a few of the neighborhoods you will explore to catch a glimpse of these lavish mansion’s exteriors dating back to at least the 1880s.

“The entire route is a 30-mile loop and can be broken up to enjoy across multiple days. Bring along your Images of America series book, enabling you to learn more about the many architects, styles, and residents who lived in these magnificent homes. The cost is $40, which includes a copy of the book. The first 50 people who register will receive an author autographed copy.”
