In case you were bewildered by the road closures in and around Evanston yesterday, you where not alone. There always seems to be something going on in Evanston but the closure of most major road access points leading into downtown Evanston, was not expected. Apparently, Evanston hosted cyclist from all over the globe, including Olympians. I was impressed with the scale but also a little annoyed by it’s road closures. Regardless, it was entertaining to watch.
For recreational cyclist, Evanston has a great network of bike paths along the lake front and along city streets. refer to the City of Evanston website for information about biking trails and city bike lanes. It’s fantastic to see people using the designated cycling lanes in and around town. Just another feature that makes living in Evanston, truly cosmopolitan.
