Ice Skating is a fun thing to do, only if you have good balance and are able to skate and stay on your feet. An established Rink in the city or suburb that is maintained on a yearly basis, is probably more secure then Skating on a Lake or River. The latter you have to be concerned about the thickness and thaw factor of the ice due to the weather conditions. Bicycling is also fun, many cities have Bike Lanes that you can pedal on safely. Some suburbs (if you are lucky) have bike paths that meander through beautiful Forest Preserves. Make sure that you wear Helmets, your Bike has good working Brakes, and you know how to use hand Signals when turning.
