Tom Limon calls himself an “Avid Urban Exploration Cyclist.” On many weekends, through his Adventure Cycling Tours, Limon leads quirky bike tour groups that explore art, history, and architecture. His next tour is a “full immersion cycling tour,” exploring Chicago’s bike history with Chris McAuliffe, author of Cycling in Chicago, and Carey Williams from The Wheelmen — an organization dedicated to the restoring and riding of bikes made before 1932. Other tours include, Bike to the Gold Pyramid House in Wadsworth, Fabulous Fountains Tour, and the popular Bike to Pullman Tour.

We celebrate carbon-free exploration, and Chicago’s amazing biking history, including the story of one legendary African American, Major Taylor.
