The Chicago Way

From yesterday's Tribune:

Chicago bicyclists, Mayor Daley knows your pain.

The mayor introduced an ordinance Wednesday that would slap fines
ranging from $150 to $500 on motorists who turn left or right in front
of someone on a bicycle; pass with less than three feet of space
between car and bike; and open a vehicle door into the path of a
cyclist.

Daley, an avid rider, said he personally has been involved in unhappy
encounters with motorists, providing them with "a few choice words"
and "salutes" that he said were delivered "in the Chicago way."
