<p>All:</p>
<p>Does anyone have details on a fatal bike crash that occurred on Monday, 8/22/16 involving a woman in her mid-50s? The deceased is a relative of a friend of mine, and the friend is searching for any info about what happened.</p>
<p>I appreciate any details you may have to share (I don't have any additional info to share at this point).</p>
<p>Thanks much!</p>

<p>I found this article really interesting, particularly the graphs. Essentially, the findings are what we all already know: driver error contributes to way more deaths than cyclist error. And now we have the data to back it up:</p>

<p>Hector's mom just called to say that a (first?) court date is tomorrow (Friday 2014.01.03) at 26th and California, at noon, room 1200.</p>
<p>She encourages concerned cyclists to come and introduce yourself to her and she wants to take everyone to lunch. I think she said it's going to be paperwork, and maybe doesn't expect to take long. She also spoke of having something printed (handouts? signs?), and of TV news attention. I told her I'd ChainLink post it.</p>
<p>Hope I got some facts…</p>

<p>Hope I got some facts straight. I'm maybe not the best liaison on such things, but we'd had a long conversation at Junior's after last Critical Mass and exchanged numbers. She seems very fond of cyclists, and spoke of riding with us going forward,</p>
<p><a href="https://facebook.com/ingrid.cossio.3" target="_blank">She's Ingrid Cossio on Facebook</a>.</p>
<p>I've got her phone/email if anyone needs.</p>
<p></p>
<p>She sounded like she could use some kindness and company.<br/> So please, who's in? </p>

<p>Do you remember the incident that happened almost 5 years ago where a woman was taking her bike off a bus mounted bike rack and was run over because the driver didn't see her? The case was just settled by the CTA. Details here:</p>
