Cheryl replied to Gabe's discussion 'Think of this as a Missed Connection.'"To the multiple bicyclists who blew the stop sign at Milwaukee & Leavitt at 15+ mph without pausing - that is not a rolling stop. That is blatant disregard for traffic law and right of way. It really isn't that big of a deal to slow down a…"

Cheryl replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"I was contemplating the same question - who would be the right point person or organization to do some systemic education and/or advocacy with property owners along these bike lanes? Is there even such a person or organization? I think it's…"
Cheryl replied to Morgan 6 mi's discussion 'I rode Dearborn today...anyone else?'"I rode the full length southbound yesterday evening. All in all I liked it - definitely not speedy, but I did enjoy the relative feeling of security. I was however surprised that after being in place for this length of time, I still observed 4-5…"
Cheryl replied to in it to win it 8.0 mi's discussion 'I rode today. Did you?'"Saw the same scene, also hope the cyclist is okay.

Cheryl replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'Metra to Charge for Bicycles?'"+1 more. Straying off topic but I find it deeply irritating that on days that CTA bans bikes completely (e.g. 4th of July), strollers are still ok.

Cheryl replied to Gabe's discussion 'Think of this as a Missed Connection.'"To the 4-5 eastbound cyclists on the Kinzie bike lane around 8:50 a.m. who blew through the stop at Clinton, failing to yield to the left-turning car that had the right of way: despite your stupid, dangerous behavior that gives bike-haters…"
Cheryl replied to Mike Keating's discussion 'Bicyclist Dies After Bike Crash in Chinatown on Thursday'"Yes, I love how it implies - purposely or not - that the bicyclist willfully rode into the side of the car.
