A ribbon ceremony followed by a social gathering at Francesca’s Forno took place today to unveil the first ever on-street bicycle parking in Wicker Park (bike Parking address approx: 1591 N. Milwaukee Ave.) The social event at Francesca's was hosted by WPB and the Active Transportation Alliance. The bike parking project was put together by WPB, Special Service Area (SSA) #33/WPB, first Ward Alderman Joe Moreno, and CDOT Bicycle Parking Program Manager Christopher Gagnon.
It's nice to see that a community has put priority to serve it's cyclist. Not that bike parking will avoid collision but having been hit by a car while biking on the south side before (I'll never do that again) just gets me angry at the fact that there are little to no bike lanes. But to keep me from getting angry at the thought that I got hit by an on-duty under cover officer who refused to admit wrong doing I will revert back to my witty post. bahahahaha
All jokes aside, if your find yourself needing a bike or a tune up make sure to visit Joe at his bike shop Quick Release Bike Shop which is located at 1527 N Ashland Ave.
