Chicago person who bikes. I *always* bike with at least one dash-cam (front/rear). If a driver kills me PLEASE release the footage. Politicize my death. Be the positive, compassionate, creative, kind change you want to see in the world.

Work was done on Wabansia between Winchester and Honore maybe a year ago. Speed bumps were removed and the street was repaved. No paint was ever reapplied at the intersections. 311 doesn't seem to have an obvious category for this type of service request.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

I don't want to yell or feel angry, but when a driver almost kills me with their negligence I find it difficult to express myself any other way in the moment. Both these drivers failed to yield to slower traffic on their right, in violation of the MCC. Neither exercised due care and caution.

Fun looking South Shore Line train gliding through Hammond Gateway on Saturday 2026.06.20. Looked like maybe a private legacy car tour of some sort.

Driver this morning on the LFT. Not seen in my video is that he was driving pretty fast until I waved. I think that's when he realized his mistake and turned around. Bonus Phyllis sighting.

Every driver inherently understands that their car/vehicle is also a very effective weapon www.bbc.com/news/videos/.... Any time I've upset a driver while riding my bike to the point where words are exchanged, "I'm going to run you over" is something they're very quick to say.

They’re just taking us down the same road that @illinoisdot.bsky.social has laid out for projects like ‘Redefine the Drive’ where they prioritize moving cars at the expense of everything and everyone else.

Unfortunate that one of the best natural resources in Chicago is directly adjacent to a loud dangerous highway
