Chicago is one of the most famous bike-friendly cities. Accidents do happen, but still, driving a bike here is much safer in comparison with other states and countries. Lots of beach bikes can be seen in the cities and a lot is being done to encourage people to ride these two-wheel vehicles.

Authorities are also interested in making people ride bikes and Chicago bike plan proves it. According to this program, by 2015 about 5 percent of all the trips that are not longer than 5 miles will be by bikes. The goal is really ambitious but is possible to achieve. What is more, there are many minor goals. Let us discuss some of them. To make people ride bikes, there should be special network of roads. And according to this plan the whole bikeway network that will serve neighborhoods and residents will appear. It will help to make today’s streets safer and more convenient for people who like this type of transportation.

But is there anything that has already been done? If we look at key projects of the last year we will see that more than 2 million dollars were spent on opening of Sauganash Trail. A lot of sheltered parkings for bikes at four stations (CTA) were constructed and more than 500 bike racks were installed throughout the city.

Everything stated above proves that the city of Chicago is bicycle friendly and people are eager to make it better.
