How many "new" people will begin biking in 2013?
Parking in the loop and other 'hoods went up, CTA is going up and I heard on the tv news that Rollerblades are allowed in the streets as traffic just like bikes?

With the typical pavement conditions seen on Chicago streets, I can't imagine rollerblading in most streets. My knees hurt just thinking about all the cracks.
