Bicycle enthusiasts from the metro are asking city leaders for more protected bike lanes, keeping riders safe from traffic. Public officials say it isn't that simple.

How much space is enough? Bicyclists living in the Old Hyde Park neighborhood say they're pleased that city leaders have heard their plea for enhanced bikeways along a stretch of Armour Boulevard.

Residents in three Midtown neighborhoods are asking city planners to use protective barriers to separate their bikeways from traffic, which is plentiful, especially in the areas close to Broadway and Main Street along Armour Blvd.
