Imagine killing someone and getting away with it. Cars kill my people and then cases often go unsolved in the US. What’s the first step in ending this?

    Maybe bicyclist being slower than cars should stay on the side of the road and not hog the whole road. I am a bicyclist, but I also drive because I am in a remote-ish northern community. The cyclists here are kinda dicks as well.

      Seems like you have information about the incident, you should call this number.

      Anyone with information about the crash was asked to contact the Highland Park police at (847) 432-7730 or police@cityhpil.com.

      Otherwise why do you speak about what you did not see?

      I agree, it’s wise for cyclists to not block the road for no reason. On the other hand, killing them for any reason feels like a step too far.

      Also, to be fair, motorists are dicks too. And there’s more of them.

        Oh ya, especially when they throw drinks at you. I had that happen once when on my bike. I am not a fan of people who drive pickup trucks they are usually douche bags.

      I know you’re getting downvoted but I think you’re right. I always bike on the sidewalk, even if it is illegal here. It is awkward to get out of the way for pedestrians and I do get dirty looks, but that’s better than being run over.
