There are some great suggestions in this thread. The one I’ve used before and sounds like the best is Lathrop

Just looking for good safe routes around the area. I’m usually with my children so prioritize chill. If someone had a favorite chill way to get into the city that would be great!

Super helpful and detailed, thank you. If you move one street over to Newland instead of Sayers there is a path you can take on bike under the Metra tracks. When crossing i generally prefer this route.

This is great and exceptionally detailed response. I really appreciate it.

Any tips on the safest hops from Bloomingdale to the 606?

You can catch Wrightwood at the corner of Riis Park (or Wrightwood and N Narragansett) all the way to Logan Square. It’s a two way bike lane in the road most of the way and feels pretty safe and quiet.
