The bike-friendliest mayor this side of Paris gets his wish
That proposal Mayor Richard Daley had to ticket car drivers who door cyclists or cut them off with the old right hook? It got the thumbs up from the Chicago city council this week.
Careless Chicago cagers now risk fines of up to 500 bucks -- if, of course, Windy City police can be compelled to give a crap.
And I'm not just being a cynical jerk here; it's not necessarily an easy thing to do. You can pass laws till you're blue in the face, but it's been suggested by the police themselves how little they know or care about laws pertaining to cyclists.
