Mayor Daley is increasingly portraying himself as a "Green" Mayor, part of building that cred might be drawn from his reputation as an avid participant and supporter of cycling. Given his enthusiasm for the recreational aspects of cycling, combined with the tremendous effort he has put into winning the 2016 Olympics for Chicago, I hope that he can recognize the synergies between the two. After seeing the way cyclists are still given a wide berth in Beijing, I hope Daley will further strengthen and improve initiatives for safer cycling in Chicago; there is always continued room for improvement.
