I'll admit I haven't ridden a bike since I was about 16, and my dad handed me the keys to a Chevy Cavalier formerly known as the Grey Ghost. Hey, don't judge me. It's hard to huff it from Beverly to Hyde Park and kick it with your friends on a two-wheeler.
Still, I am concerned for my cyclist buddies, particularly those who bike-and-ride on the CTA. That's why I tackled some of their issues in today's column. I hope you read it, but to summarize: the stability of bike racks and old bikes being left on station racks make up many bike-riders' beefs.
Do you bike and bus? Or do you bike and ride from the "L"? What are your concerns, kudos with the CTA's 8-year-old program to support alternative transportation?
I may run some blog comments in print in "Hey, CTA!" tomorrow so I hope you weigh in.

Abandoned bikes may be confiscated after 2 weeks but there has been a locked abandoned bike wheel on one of only 2 small indoor bike racks at the
Halsted Orange Line station for over a year. It takes up bike space in what is already a very sparse accommodation considering this is a major train
stop.
