We took a one week trip to visit Amy and Elliott in Chicago, then onto see Ellen in Florida. While we didn't do any riding in Chicago, we did get to see the Lakefront bike path there. Lots of cyclists, walkers and rollerbladers were using the path. As well as swimmers, getting their workout by swimming parallel to the path. Here are a few pictures with the path in the background.
And the trail winds around to a park along the lake.

While we were in Orlando, we took a day and drove up to Winter Garden, where we rented some bikes and a trike. We rode a few miles west on the West Orange Trail. The salesman warned Brian that the trike (a Trailmate delta style trike) was slow, but he wanted a trike. Turned out that it wasn't as much fun riding that trike as he thought, and we switched off on all of the bikes. We had a single speed tandem as well. The temperature was in the upper 90's and it was humid, but there were many people using the trail.

The West Orange Trail is nice and I recommend it if you are in the area. But, it sure was nice to get back to 80 degree weather and ride the NH Seacoast roads again.
