 |
| The bicycle parking area at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago is a purpose-built facility. |
 |
| Bike lanes are often used on urban streets because they
allow users to have a roadway that is exclusively for their
use; it encourages bicyclists to not ride on sidewalks; it
provides a buffer for pedestrians using the sidewalks; and it
promotes safety due to the separation of uses. Within bicycle planning there is some controversy over such
lanes. Some think that cyclists should be full users of the
road, and others promote off-road paths likely to be used
by less-experienced riders. |
 |
| The width of this brick sidewalk accommodates both pedestrians and bicyclists because it makes room for bike racks, security lighting, and signage through establishing both a clear zone and a furniture zone. |
