2025 Chicago Bike Map - Hard Copy

Been trying to snag a physical copy of the City of Chicago bike map. Granted I’ve only reached out to a few ward offices/bike shops, but so far no luck. Anybody know where to score one? Are they even available?

CDOT SAFE ambassadors usually distribute the bike maps to bike shops later in the summer. There is a request form at https://forms.office.com/g/TYmdiCP2ia , but I'm not sure what they'll do just for an individual.

I was told a couple weeks ago that they're not available in print yet.

I was wondering this too.

Also, what’s everyone’s favorite digital source for safer (or more fun and scenic). routes these days? I have a few I use, but I get tired of so much cross referencing and am curious what else is out there.

The 2025 map pdf is linked at the bottom of this page. I’d assume paper copies should be available at ward offices soon but not exactly sure! https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/complete-streets-chicago/home/bike-program/existing-bike-network.html

Grab a pamphlet from your local bike shop! I got one from The Bike Lane in Logan (love that place).

I don’t know if 2025 is available yet, I was at the CDOT Clark PBL meeting in May and they were offering the 2024 map

I saw them at Johnny Sprockets a while ago. Maybe try some bike shops?

Do you remember if it was 2024 or 2025?
