Bike-related traffic crashes are rising in Chicago, which is ranked among the world’s worst big cities for bike safety by one nonprofit.

Maybe a difference of five or even 10 miles per hour might not sound like a lot to someone, but when you look at the data, it makes a significant difference in the likelihood of injuries and fatalities…

MBJ, we’re being killed. Lower the speed limit in Chicago.

    I personally think they should expand the speed ticketing beyond school and park areas. I got one of the warning letters and just decided I’ll always drive the speed limit even if some asshole is riding my bumper and honking. The truth is trying to speed to the next stoplight isn’t going to get you to your destination any faster.
