Hmmmm...check out the Sun-Times blog about Miguel De Valle's campaign wants to make Chicago "one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the world."

We're game.

nice! he spoke at the grand opening of Ciclo Urbano/West Town Bikes when WTB moved down to Division Street, and i remember being impressed with how eager he was to work with the cycling community.

Funny I was out with my kids in my cargo bike today and someone who works for De Valle stopped to ask me about riding with them. He was expecting me to say how great Chicago is blah blah and when I said we were now years behind in cycling infrastructure he regaled me with his folding bike rides around the country and how bike friendly it is here. Well. He sure hasn't had to explain to his kid why he can't ride his bike to school.
The guy needs to go to New York with De Valle and get some religion. The place is totally light years ahead at this point. Brooklyn is now reviewing a study to bring street cars- or trams into the borough within the next few years. We are just so far behind!
