Chicago is a city of dreamers. Some people want to be the world’s next big comedians. Others want to be finance big shots. But in October, one Chicago woman wanted to be a bicycle. She sat atop the bike rack of a #44 Wallace-Racine CTA bus and claimed, “I’m a bike,” despite the fact that she was clearly a human. A video of her effort went viral, and people around the world had the chance to share in her dream of being a pedal-driven, single-track vehicle. —Clayton Guse
