Chicagoland Bicycle Map volunteerism

Lots of new bike lanes around, hope some of my changes make it in the 2010 product. The whole map is some 500 times my area; total labor must be huge, and understaffed.…

That basic fact that the pedals always turn with the wheel (no coasting) IS the primary… Continue
