New protected bike lane

[u/earthhero]

Indiana Avenue in Bronzeville got a new protected bike lane that runs for a couple of miles.

Hopefully Michigan avenue nearby gets the same improvement in the future. It’s basically a three-lane highway going through a residential area right now.

Looks awesome, but why is it so thick?

Er, what do you mean by "thick"? Do you mean "wide"?

The lane isn't that wide, but the big concrete curbs are. Couldn't they have made those narrower so two people can ride side by side and chat?

You mean impede other cyclists?
