Chicago beats bike lane goal, plans to build more

The city beat its goal of installing 100 miles of protected bike lanes, and plans to build over 50 more miles of lanes over the next four years.

Since 2011, Chicago has installed 103 miles of protected bicycle lanes, which is more than any other city in America, and now has 292 miles of designated bike lanes, according to a statement from the Mayor’s Press Office.
