It was a nice chance this morning to do a little cycling and the țrip downtown was more pleasant with the addition of pop up bike lanes on two of the busiest corridors in the city.
The temporary lanes are nice and the plans are to reduce the traffic lanes also and calm the traffic on this daily drag strip through a residential area.
It's a different place to run some errands and find a new place for lunch like Gordy's Tiny Taco Bar next to a beautiful park hidden among the high rises a few blocks from Millennium Park.
The intersecting route to the downtown mall will be equally important since it provides a safe route between the business district and the two college campuses in town.
The new lanes made the trip to the train depot and it's always fun to jump one of the morning trains to Chicago for a day. The Brommie fits neatly into the overhead and
solves a lot of problems getting around town. Kalamazoo is a few years behind Chicago where there is awell developed grid of protected bike lanes to lead you through the city.
Biking is being done everywhere in town and there is no shortage of nice steel converted to fixes for the flat terrain.
