There obviously more work to be done and I love that Chicago is so far ahead of so many cities when it comes to bicycle infrastructure.

    I’m thinking that unless they also add a program to give low income Chicagoans bicycles, we’re going to see a crime wave. Just sayin’

      The article says they did:

      Earlier in the pandemic, Chicago launched a program to give away 5,000 bikes to eligible Chicago residents by 2026.

      There are plenty of charities that can do that, if needed because really bikes are cheap on the grand scheme of transportation options. Only the government can add bike lanes, that’s what they need to focus on.
