Join Chicago Bike Water and Big Shoulders Realty for the second of our bike tours this winter, this time a repeat ride of our Hyde Park tour. Hyde Park, Chicago Community Area #41 sits 7 miles south of the Loop.

It is a unique community not just in the south side, or just in Chicago, but in the world. It is home to the University of Chicago, and the grand gothic campus dotted with several notable moderns. The community around the campus is equally impressive. Luminaries like Frank Lloyd Wright, Frederick Olmsted, Lorado Taft, Howard Van Doren Shaw, Dwight Perkins, George and William Keck, and Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe are but some of the giants with handsome contributions to the areas rich architectural palette.

Hyde Park is an full of locally owned businesses, and community organizations and caring stewards of the history of the neighborhood. The best way to see such history and wonder is of course, on a bicycle.
