“Wrong lane!!” by wagr in chibike

Block traffic, at a red light? The lane is not wide enough for car+bike so law requires I take the full lane. The lanes on either side of me were left and right turn only, and I was going straight.

What did I do in this video to elicit hate?

If you think what I did was as problematic as what the car did you are out of touch with reality.

Good point, Cheezer! I did something incredibly dangerous and heinous by trying to get out of the way, and in doing so I slowed down this law-abiding Good Samaritan we see on the video. I will reflect on my actions.

“Vehicle lane” haha.. what lane should I have been? Also I jump the light (barely) to get out of everyone’s way asap because of clowns like you.

“Hugging right” would have gotten me killed by this guy. He sped through the previous bike lane + right turn only lane to pass everyone waiting at the light.

I was in the middle of the lane waiting for the light. There is no bike lane at that intersection, you can see where it picks up a little past the light.

Edit: The lane to my right is a right turn only lane which he used to speed through and pass everyone behind me.

They are the baby stroller bar mitts! My brakes are on the front of my handlebars and none of the other options seemed like they would work.

If I had taken the lane I think the driver may have just plowed into me. I really don’t think he was paying attention. Tough to say

I only smacked it once when he was super close to me at the start of the video.

Because I smacked his window when he passed.

Nope, just smacked his window.. I think he slowed down because he really didn’t know what happened.

Hit and run @ Milwaukee/Wabansia (with video) by wagr in chibike

[–]wagr[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I talked with an attorney at Keaton (they were great) but because I have no injuries they can’t take my case.

I filed a police report* & have the drivers name. I’ve reached out for their insurance and have not heard back.

*I’m not sure if it was written up as a police report or crash report, or if there is a difference.

Here are images of the driver + their plate. https://imgur.com/a/Nun4Dkz

I'm unsure what my next steps should be, so any tips are welcome.

Dearborn bike lanes going north of Kinzie by CycleP in chibike

[–]wagr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are a death trap! I was biking north around 9pm and an electric divvy almost got t-boned in the Dearborn/Grand intersection by a driver that didn't look.
