Your Chicago city bike tour departs Navy Pier at 1:30 p.m., weather permitting. The Gold Coast and Old Town are two of the neighborhoods you will ride through on this excursion. The Gold Coast is one of the city’s most luxurious neighborhoods; mansions, high-rises, and row house are common sights throughout the historic district, which is part of Chicago’s Near North Side. Old Town lives up to its name: Victorian-era buildings line the streets of this famous neighborhood that dates back to the mid-1800s. Old Town is also the home of The Second City, the notable improv comedy troupe that served as a career launching pad for comedians like Dan Aykroyd and Tina Fey.
As you make your way through these neighborhoods, you’ll come across notable locales such as Lincoln Park and the Playboy Mansion. Lincoln Park is the Windy City’s largest public park, covering an area of just over 1,200 acres. The site features a number of museums and the eponymous zoo, which houses more than 1,250 animals. Chicago’s Playboy Mansion is the former home of Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy Magazine. Hefner moved out years ago to reside in the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, but you can still get a glimpse of this iconic building. Another major attraction is Armitage Avenue, an area in the heart of Lincoln Park that’s renowned for its charming boutiques and cafes.
