People who tried this

I was always terrified of riding into the city. [...] I figured I know the side streets well enough and I just went for it. As I awkwardly walked my bike down my front steps and started riding towards the 606 entrance, my anxiety started to fade. [...] When I began to approach Ashland Ave, the highway overpass and the Chicago River, I started to get a little nervous. It's noisy, people are not paying attention [...] and the roads always seem really bumpy and filled with potholes. I made my way through, slowly and carefully, having to be extra careful with all the people turning and not looking out for bikes in the bike lanes. Once I got through that, I ended up on Armitage Ave in Lincoln Park. [...] I was really happy to finally be riding my bike through this part of Chicago.
