Majestic Afternoon by the Chicago Riverwalk

You were both looking for a low-budget, yet romantic way to spend the afternoon. You start by renting reliable and comfortable bikes. Once you've adjusted your helmets and made sure you're comfortable, you set off along the Chicago Riverwalk.
You both ride at a comfortable pace, enjoying the scenery around you. The air is filled with the vibrant sounds of the city and the gentle rustle of trees. Pulsating architectural marvel of the city skyline is in your sight. As you cycle, you get to make several stops to simply look around, talk, and bond.
Choose an idyllic spot for your cozy picnic. You open the bag to reveal the homemade sandwiches, fruits, and a thermos of coffee or your preferred beverage. At this point, the date winds down to your pace entirely. You decide how long to stay, taking in the views of the city, people-watching, or even dozing off for a while.

The main preparation for this date is to check the weather forecast and dress accordingly. You won't want to plan this date on a day with potential rain or heavy winds. Don't forget your comfortable shoes! You will also need to pack a picnic. Ingredients for sandwiches, fresh fruits, and a beverage of your choice are all good options. Remember to bring sufficient water for hydration.
Research bike rental locations near the Riverwalk. There are plenty of options like 'Divvy' which offers hourly rentals. Select a rental location that's convenient for you and your date. And don't forget to wear a helmet for safety.
Lastly, remember to bring a picnic blanket, sunscreen if it's sunny, and perhaps a Frisbee or book if you fancy lounging around later.

Make sure you rent a bike that's comfortable for you. There's nothing less romantic than being uncomfortable on your date. Remember, you don't have to rush — this date is about spending quality time together and enjoying the sights, not racing each other.
Pick a picnic spot that's comfortable and offers a good view. The Riverwalk is dotted with greenspaces — all you have to do is pick your backdrop. A spot with a view of the water would make the picnic all the more unforgettable.
Lastly, even though this is a low-budget date idea, make sure to make your partner feel special. Compliment them, listen to them, make them laugh. The aim is to connect on a deeper level.
