With a reputation as one of the country’s best large cities for cyclists, Chicago offers over 200 miles of shared bike lanes and many miles of off-street trails. The city also boasts thousands of bike racks and many other amenities for cyclists, including sheltered bike-parking areas.
Chicago officials plan to improve the city’s cycling environment even further through the Department of Transportation’s Chicago Streets for Cycling Plan 2020, which seeks to create a 645-mile network of biking facilities over the next three years. The network will connect Chicago communities and city landmarks via neighborhood and crosstown bike routes, as well as “spoke” routes extending from downtown to all corners of the city. When the plan is completed, every Chicago resident will be a half-mile or less away from a biking feature.
