<p>John Greenfield for the <em>Chicago Reader:</em></p>
<p><em>The Chicago Police Department along with major news outlets, reported that Klingenberg brought on his own death by pedaling through a red light. But in exclusive interviews with the Reader, two witnesses say they're convinced the bus driver was at least partly responsible for Klingenberg's death because she entered the intersection after the light turned red.…</em></p>

<p>I prefer to use Rush/Wabash/State heading north and catch the LFT via the tunnel at North Ave. It may be a few blocks longer, but is much safer IMO.</p>

<p>Well, considering I don't consider myself suicidal, and have managed to get to work in the loop daily without getting killed for over ten years (and in turn convinced some other cyclists to give riding to work a go as well, though I'll admit I've had some closer calls than I like to think about), I'd probably prefer not fostering the idea in this City that riding a bike is synonymous with having a deathwish. </p>

<p>Not to be a killjoy, but we can still push hard for change with a little less hyperbole, especially when said hyperbole acts against the point of getting more people on bikes so this City is forced to change. </p>

<p>I know passions are high, and rightly so as infrastructure really needs to be improved in this city and drivers need to be better in looking out for cyclists, but calling downtown a "deathtrap" seems a little extreme. </p>
