Kinzie Street: The First of Many Protected Bike Lanes for Chicago



Walked by this bike lane a week ago while in Chicago for the Midwest Educause Conference.  Excellent.  If Chicago can make more bike lanes that go into the city and connect the fabulous lake-front lanes and paths through the parks and zoo, then Chicago will be an amazing place to visit and just ride around all day long buying stuff and spending tourism dollars.  Do you hear that, Chicago ;)
