BIKE LANES ON MICHIGAN AVENUE!!!!!!!

Bike lanes in Detroit?  At first, I thought this was a prank, but then I realized that it wasn’t April 1st.  Wow.  Hopefully this will be the first of many to come:

Bike lanes on this portion of Michigan Avenue will also play into the Corktown-Mexicantown Greenlink that will be built in Spring 2011. The series of bike and pedestrian pathways and bike lanes, which is funded primarily by MDOT and the Greenways Initiative of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, is intended to connect the neighborhoods of Corktown and Mexicantown to each other and to the Detroit River.
