Xenon’s favorite Chicago museum is the Art Institute, his favorite pizza place is Gino’s East, his favorite neighborhood is Wicker Park, and his favorite Bike & Roll tour is the Amazing Lakefront Segway tour, although he also loves the Presidential Tour of Hyde Park & Kenwood.

Mike R.
BIO: Originally from the Detroit Metro area, Mike enjoys performing and writing stand-up and sketch comedy throughout the Chicago area. He graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and following the great recession of 2009, Mike decided that working for Bike and Roll was far more fun. His favorite museum is the Museum of Science and Industry, mostly for its interactive qualities, but also because he claims he actually understands some of the whimsical science behind the exhibits. Mike’s favorite Chicago style pizza place is Lou Malnati’s, they’ll send you a pizza through the mail, enough said! With a great selection of restaurants, night life and a Zoo to boot, Lincoln Park is his choice neighborhood, which coincides with his favorite tour the "Friendly Neighborhoods Electric Bike Tour."

Kate P.
BIO: Kate hails from the suburbs of Chicago and has lived in Chicago proper for the last ten years. She loves her city! Oh, she’s been to other cities, New York, Paris, London, Rome and they have their "qualities," But nothing beats Chicago. Clean, friendly, easy to get around, bike friendly and, of course, the delicious, delicious food. Kate is an actress who spends a great deal of time improvising. Chicago is considered the improv mecca of the world. People swarm from all over the US and the world to train at The Second City and iO, Kate has trained at both and continues to perform on the improv team Damascus Steel at The Playground theatre. She also helped start and performs with an all female improv troupe devoted to the style of Jane Austen. When Kate’s not on stage, you can find her at The Art Institute staring at some of the world’s most amazing and famous impressionist art. Including Monet’s Hay Stacks, Picasso’s The Old Guitarist, and her absolute favorite, George Seurat’s Sunday on the La Grande Jatte. Kate lives in Lakeview, which is a bustling, lively and a fun part of town. If you wanna get to the heart of Lakeview just take the Red, Brown or Purple “L” to the Belmont Stop, and you’re there. Lots of people come to Chicago for pizza and you can find it on almost every street, but if you want the best, you’ll have to work for it. The Art of Pizza is at 3033 N Ashland Ave (between Barry Ave & Nelson St). Once you’re at Belmont, take the Belmont bus West, hop off at Ashland/Lincoln and walk South on Ashland. After a couple blocks, you’ll see it. Delicious and award winning!!! Kate’s favorite Bike and Roll tour is, hands down, the Amazing Lake Front bike tour. You get to see parts of Chicago that some Chicagoan’s don’t even know about, like the Alfred Caldwell Lily pond and the North Pond Restaurant. You’ll spend three hours doing what most Chicagoans, including Kate, love to do on a daily basis, enjoy our Lakefront.
Grant E.
BIO: Grant grew up in South Holland, a south side suburb of Chicago. He loves the diversity of Chicago’s neighborhoods and restaurants. Gino’s East is the deep-dish pizza he would recommend to visitors, but great food can be found in every neighborhood of the city. Favorite spots in Chicago include Loyola Beach, Chicago Cultural Center, Reckless Records, Brew and View, The Music Box Theater, Hopleaf and the University of Chicago Co-Op Bookstore. Grant frequently visits the Museum of Contemporary Art and The Oriental Museum and loves hanging out in north side neighborhoods Lakeview, Andersonville, Lincoln Square and Rogers Park. His favorite Bike and Roll tour is the Electric Hoods Tour because it offers an exciting encounter with north side history and culture.
