Chicago is a busy city with constant movement. Over 2.5 million people live in the city, making it the most populous city in the midwest and the third largest city in the United States. Countless individuals rely on alternative means of transportation within the city, like bicycles, to commute and get around day in and day out. While drivers should pay closer attention and respectfully share the road with cyclists, that is not always the case. With so much traffic in and around the city, bicyclists constantly run the risk of getting hit by cars and other vehicles. The city makes efforts to promote bicycle safety and make it easier and more efficient for cyclists to ride around the city, but the risks and dangers are ever-present.
