As of August 2008, there are approximately 27 miles (43 km) of these types of shared bike lanes throughout the city.

Participants gather at Daley Plaza on the last Friday of every month at 5:30 PM for a free ride.

The LATE Ride, sponsored by the Friends of the Parks, is an annual overnight tour of Chicago neighborhoods.
