Chicago’s ‘bikeability’ is behind the curve in recent cycling studies
Chicago’s ‘bikeability’ is behind the curve in recent cycling studies
Two studies using different metrics determined that Chicago has work to do to make roadways more bike friendly.
I enjoy biking here and encourage anybody interested to start biking as a form of transportation but hopefully these studies push us to resolve the issues that still exist!

The Johnson transition team recommends 20mph for through roads and 10mph for residential. Traffic enforcement is low but these speed limit adjustments would raise the amount of drivers being considered criminal drivers with serious consequences. Right now you can be going 55 mph on a city street and still only be considered for a trivial fine despite creating violent and dangerous situations. The signs indicate the maximum speed you are supposed to go but most drivers treat it as a minimum. It's almost like people consider driving a right. It's a privilege and you should have to strictly follow the rules of the road of you want to keep a license.
