"Police say the citations are in the interests of public safety. African-American bike advocates say the higher number of tickets in some South and West side areas could be caused in part by the lack of bike infrastructure like protected bike lanes, leading cyclists to take to the sidewalk to avoid traffic on busy streets."
In my area we have the most bicycle accident in the nation. Tampa Bay has a flat terrain and favorable weather so we have many bike riders. Though we have many bike lanes no one gets tickets for riding on sidewalks. Looks like the police there in Chicago are ticketing people for doing what we do here to keep from being in a car accident.
