A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Has “I can’t afford a bike” ever been an issue in the city? Are people missing work because their bike is in the shop? It’s a fine program and all, but is it really a problem?
I don’t see this as a theft deterrent either as anyone who steals a bike isn’t stealing it for personal use, they’re reselling it.
Just leave the bikes in various locations across the inner city. They’ll find their way into the hands of the most needy.
Now there will be Bike Ride by shootings.
Officer. What were the shooters driving?
Witness. They were on Pee Wee Herman bikes with streamers,a ringer,had red bow ties on and had a funny laugh.

Much like scooters, they’ll find their way into the Chicago River.
Why is dead broke Chicago giving way millions of dollars worth of bikes — and not just to poor people who can’t afford one — but to families that make up to $140,000 a year!
Chicago’s motto, “It’s FREE!”
