This has happened to me a number of times already this year on a number of different streets with bike lanes.  I'm riding in a bike lane approaching a light that has just turned red.  A car is…Continue

"Interesting but very foolish - the 11 goes through a few wards. Definitely an interesting contrast to the original "party line" that due to the Brown Line expansion project that bus was a redundancy.  For active, younger folks a few…"

Accident on Lincoln Ave

Riding to work around 4 this afternoon, heading south on the 3100 block of Lincoln, I saw an ambulance and fire truck on the northbound side.  As I slowly rode by, I saw paramedics put a stretcher with a person on it into the back.  I'm assuming this victim was as a cyclist, as the fireman were inspecting a bike at the scene.  Anyone see what happened?  I hope whoever was placed in the back of the ambulance is alright.See More
