CDOT planner Riley O’Neil, 35, was killed in Bridgeport after being doored while riding his bike. Chicago police issued four citations to the driver at the scene, including unsafe opening of a vehicle door, driving on a suspended license, operating an uninsured vehicle, and prohibited parking. His job was to make the streets safe for cyclists and pedestrians. The event underscores the urgent need for protected bike lanes that physically separate cyclists from traffic and parked cars. Every Chicagoan deserves safe streets, whether traveling by bike, foot, transit, or car. Join the vigil for Riley O’Neil on June 8 at 7 PM at Palmisano Park, 2700 S. Halsted St.

Your scooter may cost more than most to repair. With some scooters, the whole wiring system must be taken apart to fix a flat or execute other repairs. Just a small tip for scooter owners.
