Normally I ride to either Milan or Dundee (I live between the two).
Sometimes I'll ride out to Tecumseh. I usually ride a large loop.
What bike you getting? What kind of ridding are you looking to
do?
Let me know when you're ridding, I'd be happy to show you
some of my Milan areas that I ride.
I'm big on the safety gear (don't like the idea of getting hit!).
At a minimum, I was a hi-visibility helmet with rear-view mirror
and a hi-visibility vest or clothing. This gear is a must!
Buy a helmet, if nothing else to be able to use this...

You can't believe how much more enjoyable a ride is when you
don't have to keep trying to turn around to see what is behind
you. It's like driving a car with no rear-view mirrors.
I would also recommend a speedo / odometer, you can buy
one at Wal-Mart for under $15. or use a phone app. I purchased
a bike phone holder at Wal-Mart that works great.
I have an extra new vest I'd give you if you think you would
wear it (different than the photo).
