Bike thefts in Chicago

The Chicago Tribune's Red Eye reports about the frustration Chicago cyclists face as their bicycles continue to get swiped.

In 2005, more than 2,300 bikes -- including that of my older sister, Teresa Parod -- were stolen in the city of Chicago. I wrote about the theft of my sister's bike outside the Art Institute in March 2005.

Bike lock maker Kryptonite says Chicago is the third worst city for bike theft in the country, behind New York and San Francisco. Let's hope the city's Bike 2015 plan is successful in reducing the number of bicycle thefts in the city.
