Chicago plans safe bike lanes

Chicago's Bike 2015 master plan for bicycling proposes a 500-mile bike way network for Chicago residents. Today, Chicago has more than 100 miles of on-street bike lanes and more than 155 miles of signed bike routes.

The plan calls for increasing bicycle use, so that 5 percent of all trips of less than five miles are by bicycle; reducing the number of bicycle injuries by 50 percent from current levels.
