Chicago is giving away 5000 free bicycles to Chicagoans

With bike lanes, packed traffic, and parking fees, there may be a lot of incentive to get around on pedals and two wheels rather than a motorized 4.

If you’re in need of a bike and live in Chicago, you’re in luck. As part of the new program, “Bike Chicago,” 5,000 Chicagoans will receive free bikes and maintenance and safety equipment for those bikes.

All you need to do is submit an application at Chicago.org and be at least 14 years old, a Chicago resident, live in a household with an annual income below $104,200, and live in an area that faces “higher mobility hardship” (They got a map that indicates what those places are HERE).
