Mike Amsden Bikeways Planner "Getting around on a bike is the most practical way to travel in a city as busy and congested as Chicago. It's great getting to wherever I'm going quickly, safely, and cheaply, while at the same time getting in some exercise." |

Christopher Gagnon Bike Parking Program Manager "When I was new to Chicago, I found using a bike for transportation to be a great way to meet people and make friends. Chicago has a thriving bicycling community, and there's always some cool bicycling-related activity or event going on, year round. And cycling through the winter helps keep me fit so when the nice weather returns, I'm ready for it!" |

Frank Zurek Engineering Intern "Bicycling in Chicago is great! I love arguing with my friends over why bikes are better than cars. Not only do you get to your destination quicker as you rush past lines of jammed cars in a wide open bike lane, bikes are also the only vehicle on the road with unlimited miles per gallon." |
