Katlin,1500 Block of Milwaukee Ave , Chicago, IL

Katlin rides a Blue Schwinn Le Tour Luxe single speed that she bought in Minneapolis four years ago.
Where are you going?
To run some shopping errands on Milwaukee, but I'm coming from lunch at Sultan's and watching a Settlers of Catan tournament

Favorite ride?
Running errands on a weekday when its sunny and I don't have to go to work! 

How can Chicago improve bike infrastructure or make Chicago more bike friendly?
It would be great if the city provided consistent opportunities for discussion between stakeholders representing all types of transportation in the city (cyclists, CTA drivers/conductors, taxi drivers, car owners, pedestrians, etc) to share knowledge and come together to develop solutions and educate others.

*** Thanks for the feedback Katlin.  I love your idea of a city forum to discuss transportation issues.  Check out the Active Transportation Alliance website.  They do great work advocating for cyclists, pedestrians, and public transportation.  With a new mayor entering office, its a great time to support organizations like Active Trans, that are pushing for safer and better streets and transit.

    Wait, there are Settlers of Catan tournaments? After consulting with Google I've found out there was one in Toronto, too. Wow, so much in common between our two cities.

    Toronto and Chicago are really similar. On another note, I heard through the grapevine that Kaitlin's man friend won the tournament, and is going to the World Championship!

    He did win, but he'll actually be going to the North American Championship! (The winner of that tournament will go to the World Championship)
