Cyclists Aren't 'Special,' and They Shouldn't Play by Their Own Rules
The days of the outlaw bicyclist are over.
The other day, something happened in Chicago that made bicycling a little more boring.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel introduced an ordinance that would double the fine for “dooring” a cyclist. Motorists who open their doors into the path of a person riding a bicycle, one of the most dangerous hazards that bike riders face, would have to pay $1,000. This is good. Dooring kills people, like Neill Townshend.
