from the recent installation of a protected bike lane in downtown Chicago.
"Recent morning rush hour traffic counts show a 58 percent increase in
bike traffic at Kinzie and Clinton since the cycle track was built, up from
413 bicyclists from this time last year to 656 cyclists. And traffic counts
taken last Wednesday morning showed that 48 percent of the southbound
rush hour vehicles on Milwaukee at Kinzie were bikes – 819 cycles
compared to 892 motor vehicles."
This is empirical evidence about how improvements in bike infrastructure
benefits both cyclists AND motorists.
