In Chicago over the past 5 or 10 years it has been the case.

The number of cyclists was 2.6 times higher in 2012 than 2000. [1]

The program, whose efforts are guided by the Bike 2015 Plan, approved in June 2006, has created over 100 miles (160 km) of new bike lanes, installed 10,000 bicycle racks, and installed 165 miles (266 km) of signed bike routes in 2006. [2].
