Many residents enjoy bike riding, and the bike lanes along Milwaukee Avenue offer an easy, eco-friendly way to commute to downtown jobs. This popular bike route has been dubbed the “hipster highway” for the many young professionals who cycle to work from their River West apartments in Chicago, IL, and other neighborhoods farther north along Milwaukee Avenue.
