Most guided sightseeing tours pose severe health risks—muscle atrophy, loss of bone density, and blinding rage, to name a few—due to lack of physical activity. You’ve probably suffered one or all of those symptoms while on any of these tours:

  • Chicago Segway Tour: Whir around the city without moving your feet. Be just like the Millennium Park cops for a day.
  • Chi-Town Saddled-Lion Tour: Anyone standing in your way risks life and limb. Stops include dumpsters and places with high densities of fearful humans.
  • Windy City Piggyback Tour: Get on the back of sweaty men and big-for-their-age children. Voted the most dangerous job in the world by I Work on an Oil Rig Magazine.

Fortunately, Bike Chicago circumvents the shortcomings associated with the above non-movement-based city tours (painful side effects, death, etc.). See Chicago’s top attractions with today’s fantastic deal.

Chicago was meant to be seen on a two-wheeled, man-propelled vehicle. With today’s Groupon, $17 gets you a bike tour with Bike Chicago (a $35 value). The tours take two to three hours and are fun and easy. Bike Chicago supplies the bike, a knowing guide, a helmet, and water.

  • “This is one thing you definitely must do in Chicago. This place rents out bikes on very reasonable rates. Its [sic] tons of fun riding along the lakefront on the bikes and there’s acually [sic] lots of trails you can follow as well. Its [sic] really different from walking or driving through the city.

  • “This is THE place to rent a bike in Chicago! They’ve got reasonable rates and there’s so many places to bike around the city!” – Ren H.
  • “This is easily the BEST way to explore Chicago. $10 per hour to cruise up and down the lakeshore, enjoying views of both the lake and the city skyline. Driving down Lakeshore Drive simply isn’t as fun.” – Stevey P.
