Any other Chicago bike commuters out there? I ride up and down Milwaukee avenue, rain or shine, all year long. I've been riding for over three years now (sold the car about two years ago) and never looked back. Anyway, for all of you out there, are you all noticing more bike commuters than ever before? It seems like the numbers of bikers seems increasing (even in the cold weather). Is there any official study about the (seemingly increasing) trend of bike commuters?
