hi there,

The Grand Illinois Trails is one of the largest interlinked trails spanning over 400 miles and it is one of the best places for cycling tours in Illinois:

* The Chicago Lakefront, which consists of 18.5 miles of paved trail between Bryn Mawr Avenue and 79th Street along Lake Michigan.

* The I&M Canal Trail has 55 miles of limestone trail between I-55 at Channahon to Lock 14 at LaSalle.

* The Hennepin Canal consists of 17 miles of limestone trail along the feeder canal between Rock Falls and Illinois Route 92.

* The Long Prairie Trail has 14.5 miles of paved trail through Boone County with trailheads at Capron and Poplar Grove.

* The Great River Trail has 8 miles of paved trail between 27th Street in Moline to Hampton.

* The Rock River Recreation Path consists of seven miles of paved trail that run between Davis Park in Rockford to Elmwood Road in Machesney Park.

Regarding bike rental, Bike Chicago is probably one of the most popular places for bike rentals in Illinois.

Hope this helps
