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:
besides that working bikes and other groups and organizations give access to affordable bikes.and of course chicago already has miles of bike lanes of all kinds to this just makes it that much better.
@feduser934 They should have VINs just like motorcycles or chips built in because those free bikes are going in to someones van every night.
@lntl @KeavesSharpi
From my POV, as long as they’re ridden by anybody then the program was a success
They should require all bikes be registered with https://project529.com/garage with the cops checking often, it is the best way to solve the problem. Not a perfect solution, but the best chance
why? why would added bicycle infrastructure = crime wave?
More people buying used bikes to ride in the new lanes presumably.
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.
