To be fair to other cities, Bicycling magazine should have put Chicago in a special category: "For cities that wink at bikers' traffic violations." That would have allowed San Francisco (second place), Portland, Ore. (third place), New York (fourth place), Seattle (fifth place), Washington, D.C. (eighth place), and Cambridge, Mass. (ninth place), to compete in a category for cities that hold bikers to the same standards as motorists. Such as not going the wrong way down a one-way street, like the one I look down upon to see bikes going west past a traffic sign with an arrow pointing east.
