ROS-Chicago already received an email from a friend of this cyclist who was killed. The news article certainly does blame the cyclist...

In the meantime, what can we do to make that stretch of Devon safer and more traffic calming? If you live in that Ward - let your Alderman know that you want safer streets for cycling.

ROS will have a table under the Big Top Tent this Sunday at Bike the Drive and we're seeking helpers to staff the table from 8am-noon. We hope to see you out on a car-free LSD.

This is from the Jukebox at The Sovereign, a bar near Metropolis Cafe where Liz Whitacre worked. She is widely missed.
