<p>ha, just tell the guard you're going to WBEZ, and the north side of the pier magically opens to bicycle traffic. Green Fest is taking this year off, but I'm sure World Music Festival Chicago will be back this fall. That's one reason to ride to Navy Pier.</p>

<p>Nope, the north side is closed to. I suspect its one of the reasons for the disappearing bike racks.</p>

<p>"To me, this is one of the instances where a great, independent, bicycle advocacy group could really be beneficial to getting this new policy changed."</p>
<p>I'll second that idea. Chicago needs a strong bicycle advocacy group.</p>

<p>You should still be able to ride on the north side of the pier. That is where the access to bicycle parking exists by WBEZ and is now missing further east.</p>

<p>I just wanted to bump this back up since I had to stop there today on my ride from Evanston to Hyde Park for a bathroom break. (Admittedly off-topic but I can't understand why the park district still has all the bathrooms along the LFP closed, but...)</p>

<p>I was told that there is no bike riding at Navy Pier anymore due to construction. Of course I was told that by a security person (who honestly was trying to be very, very nice about it), but given all the bike traffic that's being redirected there I can't honestly understand the idiocy of this idea.</p>

This question was raised in this current political atmosphere because backers of the current mayor believe that he and/or his connected cohorts are beyond reproach when it comes to the best interests of those in the cycling community. We are in the process of 'fairly and even-handedly' trying to figure out who/what may be responsible for this action and to try to get the racks reinstalled for the benefit of all in our cycling community who use them. That is what the issue in this action…

<p>Just so I understand: Anything bike-positive that happens between now and the election is Rahm's benevolence made manifest to us his unworthy subjects, while anything bike-negative that happens is obviously completely outside of his control and done over his no-doubt-energetic protestation, even action taken by an agency whose board members he directly appoints. Have I got that right?</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>Unsubstantiated allegations deserve more ridicule. </p>

<p>When the factual reasons for the infrastructure being removed are revealed, I'll get back in my clown car and gladly leave.</p>
<p>No.</p>
