Chicago lost a biking hero this past Friday when Riley ONeil, 35, bike parking manager for CDOT and a passionate advocate for safer streets, was killed after a driver door-dashed into his lane—sending him into traffic where a semi-truck struck him. Known for pushing for protected bike lanes, his death hits hard in the cycling community, who’re rallying for a vigil and demanding real infrastructure change. This tragic incident is part of a troubling trend: at least three cyclists killed this year in Chicago, all on unprotected lanes. The driver faces serious charges, but the real tragedy? A system that still can’t keep those who fight for safety safe.
