About one-third of all work trips in Chicago are comprised of people biking, walking or riding public transit.
- Plan your route using a bicycle map of your community, if available.
- Ride on streets with bike lanes and enough room to ride outside of the “door zone” when riding alongside parallel parked cars.
- Consider riding on residential streets when starting out, even if they take you a bit out of the way.
- Cross major streets at traffic signals.
