About this route
Delaware and Illinois pair coastal Mid-Atlantic riding with Great Lakes urban cycling. The Junction-Breakwater Trail and Cape Henlopen routes offer relaxed seaside miles, while Chicago's 18-mile Lakefront Trail along Lake Michigan and the 45-mile Tunnel Hill through Shawnee Forest provide Illinois' cycling highlights.
The cycling corridor between these states traces a path from the Atlantic coast through the Appalachian foothills and into the broad expanse of the Midwest. Delaware's riding stays close to shore, with ocean breezes and flat terrain making for easygoing pedaling year-round. Illinois brings a remarkable range of cycling experiences, from Chicago's vibrant bike commuting culture with over 200 miles of protected lanes to the quiet rural roads of Galena in the state's northwest corner. The Tunnel Hill State Trail passes through dense southern Illinois forest and features a 543-foot tunnel carved through bedrock, while the Hennepin Canal Parkway stretches 104 miles across the state's midsection. Gravel enthusiasts flock to the Dirty Kanza qualifier events held on central Illinois farm roads each spring.
Shipping a bike from Delaware to Illinois covers approximately 700 to 800 miles through the heart of the eastern United States. Each bicycle is carefully packed to protect frames, wheelsets, and drivetrain components during transit. Full coverage is included with every shipment, so whether you are sending a commuter bike to Chicago or a trail bike bound for Shawnee National Forest, your equipment is fully protected throughout the journey. Real-time tracking lets you monitor your bike from Delaware's coast to its Illinois destination.
