What were the top 5 Chicago bicycling news stories of 2010?
Folks,
A local publication is looking for top 5 lists of Chicago happenings in 2010.
Any suggestions for the most important or interesting Chicago bicycle news items of this year?
Thanks!

Daley stepping down.
Cyclist killed in express lane of Dan Ryan-- a little follow-up investigation would have been welcome.
Brookfield trial debacle.
End of snow clearance on secondary and side streets and from bike lanes.
The parking meter thing was 2009, right?

John,
(1) The Brookfield sentencing debacle, Active Trans' letter writing campaign in response and the new relationship that grew between Active Trans and the IL State's Attorney's office as a result.
(2) The new bicycle safety legislation signed into law by Governor Quinn in July.
(3) Active Trans' Crash Support Hotline up and running.
(4) Mayor Daley stepping down.
(5) The "road rage" lawsuit filed against Matthew Pritzker in federal court.
Brendan.

You're welcome.
I should note that a lot of IL bicyclists were killed and seriously injured this year. Unfortunately, I follow these sad matters. All of crashes I am aware of (there were a lot) were recounted on my blog during the year. In my opinion, any one of these events was easily the biggest cycling story of the year.

Somewhat of a non-story; but what about Chicago's slip to #10 in most bike-friendly cities?
