"Chicago has a reputation for being bike-friendly, but it’s more hype than reality." @Suntimes editorial board calls for more investment in protected bike lanes that make streets safer for everyone. 🚲❤️👏 chicago.suntimes.com/2019/11…

EDITORIAL: Let’s invest, Chicago, and make our streets safer for cyclists

New York has more than three times as many miles of bike lanes as Chicago, but 10% of New York’s bike lanes are now protected, compared with only 8% in Chicago.

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

.@600WestBuilding shuttle illegally blocking bidirectional @ClintonBikeLn at rush hour pushing cyclists from both directions into oncoming traffic. This is an ongoing issue as the company has zero legal pickup zones. How do you operate a company so carelessly? @ChicagoBACP @USDOT
