@ascentale @bikenite A8. A year ago on June 8th, one of my neighbors was killed by a driver in a large pickup truck while walking across a street in the crosswalk. On Monday, we dropped off flowers at the location & her sister was sitting nearby, so we stopped and talked with her for a whole. The photo is a protest sign that we put up and maintain. #BikeNite
@kimu ohhh that’s really sad ☹️
@ascentale and also angry-making. But mostly sad.
@kimu @ascentale @bikenite A8. An organization I volunteer with organized a massive vigil ride and die in for a city planner on our DOTs Complete Streets team that was killed by two motorists. https://blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/09/hundreds-ride-through-bridgeport-to-honor-cyclist-riley-oneil-and-demand-safer-streets-people-are-dying/ #BikeNiteQ #bikenote #chicago #bikechi
@andrew773 I heard about his death and the protest. I’m so sorry.
@kimu Sorry for your loss as well. It's been a tough year for cycling advocacy in Chicago, with an increase in fatal crashes and conservatives trying to make cycling infrastructure a wedge issue but we've made a lot of progress the last several years.
@kimu @ascentale @bikenite That's a sad story. Good to hear that you dropped some flowers! Great sign!
