When I was a kid on da south side we would ride our bikes up Stoney Island without any problems. I'm sure that way now would be asking for trouble.

You could take I-57 up to the Dan Ryan and then south on Lake Shore Drive and be OK. My wife and I drove that route to U.S. Cellular Field this morning to pick up Sox tickets for our grandson and me for Friday's game. The problems seem to be in certain neighborhoods vs. out on the heavily traveled expressways.

You could still ride your bike up Stoney Island but you'd have to pedal REAL REAL fast and do it during the day.
