Design

A motorist took out the old cyclist footrest on Milwaukee, but a new one has been installed.

These buffered lanes with bollards offer a new option for commuters.

The northbound and southbound bike lanes will each be closed for two weeks during construction.

The 'L' stop will fill a 1.5-mile gap between the Ashland and California stations

Today the second phase of the Wenthworth-Wells Connector project kicked off, which will eventually create a direct route from Chinatown to the South Loop.

The new bike route adds a half-mile to the trip, but cyclists are rewarded with scenic views.

The lanes were likely installed to prevent homeless people from camping in the underpasses.

Last week Pace, one of Chicago’s four dockless bike-share vendors, announced that they will be installing 25 “mobility parking platforms” on private property within Chicago’s Far South Side DoBi pilot area. In plain English, they’re talking about fairly conventional-looking bike parking racks (although one end of the rack has a hole in it to facilitate locking Pace bikes via their built–in cable locks.) But the company is promoting the fixtures as being available for parking any company’s dockless bikes, as well as dockless electric scooters and personal cycles. Pace has gotten permission from institutions and businesses such as Chicago State University in Roseland and Open Outcry Brewing in Beverly to install the fixtures on their property.

It's a nice project, but why do cyclists get a speed hump while motorists don't?
