Video - how to take your bike on a CTA or Pace bus

Has lack of familiarity with how to take your bike on a CTA or Pace bus been an obstacle to you using this useful service?  This video is a good "how to" to help you get started.



Taking your bike on a Pace suburban bus is just like doing it on CTA, as shown in the video above.

There's a Chainlink discussion today in this very topic.

Have you tried it?  What have your experiences been?  Please feel free to share in comments.

CDOT video - please use a headlight at night

Do you use lights on your bike at night?  Do you know that it's required by law?  You don't need to be able to light up the street, but you do need to be visible.  It can make the trip safer for you and others you may encounter on your journey - pedestrians, other cyclists and drivers.

Being visible doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg.  You can find inexpensive solutions (from this manufacturer or others) in your local bike shop or online.  Be seen and be safe.

CDOT videos - ride on the street, not the sidewalk

A few years ago, the Chicago Dept. of Transportation (CDOT) worked with Active Transportation Alliance to produce an excellent, informative series of educational videos for various categories of road users about sharing the road safely and laws regarding bicycling.



More videos from this series will be posted here soon.  Please feel free to share this link with friends and family members who ride.
