Anne Alt replied to Adam's discussion 'Safe place to lock bike by union station'"It would be great to have a West Loop bike station for exactly this reason.

Eric Roach replied to Adam's discussion 'Safe place to lock bike by union station'"Two u-locks is always a good idea. I leave my bike, mostly not flashy, locked up outside almost every night with two Kryptonite Evolution locks, a mini and a series 4. My next purchase will be one of these.

John Greenfield replied to Adam's discussion 'Safe place to lock bike by union station'"The City's bike map shows the location of bike racks installed inside CTA stations,
which would keep your bike out of the elements and probably a bit more secure.
The Clinton Green/Pink station and Jackson Blue station are both about a…"

My feet flew out of the clips and in the laughing frustration of it all I bonked my face on the bars. Yay $2 drinks at Cobra! Can't wait for the next one.
