Law and Wellness: Bicycling no longer child's play - Dolan Law, P.C.

Martin A. Dolan - Principal Litigator

by Martin A. Dolan

An avid cyclist, 28-year-old Ukrainian Village resident Michael Brunlieb rides his bike everywhere, including downtown to work. He encounters treacherous situations, including a cyclist?s worst nightmare while recently peddling on Ashland Avenue with a backpack full of groceries.

?A car clipped me. I got hit on my back left side and was pushed into a car that was parked,? he said. ?I wiped out, obviously, all the groceries, including a glass bottle in my backpack got smashed, and I totally destroyed the side mirror of the parked car.?

He got back up, but the driver who hit him drove off. And even though he did the responsible thing by leaving a note on the parked car he struck, he was still on the hook to pay for part of the damaged mirror.

All things considered, though, Brunlieb was one of the lucky ones. In 2010 in Illinois alone, 24 bicyclists were killed in traffic fatalities.

With the arrival of warm weather and as gas prices continue to climb, more Chicagoans are looking for healthy and inexpensive methods to get them around town and to work.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has implemented incremental measures to make Chicago a bike friendly city, even installing ?bicycle ambassadors? committed to promoting bike safety.

With about 140 miles of on-street bicycle friendly lanes and access to about 12,000 bike racks, Chicago has aptly earned the title of the 10th most bike friendly city in America by?Bicycling?magazine.

Cycling continues to present countless hazards and obstacles, often making for a stressful experience for two-wheeled commuters.

Cyclists compete for space on the road with cabdrivers, who constantly lurch in and out of bike lanes to pick up or drop off passengers at roadside curbs and buses that leave little room for bikes to negotiate. And with distracted drivers cutting off bikers in heavy traffic at high speeds and inattentive pedestrians who don?t bother looking both ways before crossing the street, accidents involving novice and experienced cyclists alike can lead to serious and even fatal results.

There are several common sense precautions that can drastically reduce the risk and frequency of accidents.

Maintenance is a must.?Before you hit the road, perform a quick check to ensure your bike is safe and ready to ride. Always check the air in your tires before you set out ? both tires should be about the firmness of a basketball. Testing your brakes and ensuring your chain is properly lubricated are also maintenance musts, said Ethan Spotts of the Active Transportation Alliance, which promotes bike safety. ?It?s as simple as ABC,? Spotts said. ?Air, brakes, chain. Those are the primary bike components you?ll want to check out before you start your commutes.?

Watch out for ?dooring.??One of the most common and dangerous risks to cyclists is ?dooring,? which occurs when drivers open their car doors into the paths of oncoming cyclists, striking them without warning or not allowing enough time to stop. Although protected lanes help prevent dooring, the vast majority of bicycle lanes run juxtaposed to parked cars and, far too often, drivers fling their doors open without looking. Even though dooring has been considered a traffic violation for some time, it wasn?t until this past year that Gov. Pat Quinn became an advocate for cycling safety by signing legislation tracking the number of dooring incidents as traffic collisions in police records. Those statistics help determine the extent of the problem and where it occurs most frequently, which lead to increased signage, more public awareness efforts addressing the problem and ultimately improved overall safety.

Remain alert.?Cyclists should always gauge the attentiveness of every person they share the road with, which includes pedestrians, in-line skaters, dog walkers and strollers.

?Ride safely and predictably,? Spotts said. ?We also recommend riding with confidence. You as a person on a bike have the same rights as a person in a car. So if you need to get around some broken glass or if someone is going to open a car door, you should be ready and willing to take that lane, and get out into traffic when you need to.?

One thing to watch for is a person holding a phone to his or her ear, thus blocking their peripheral vision, making them completely unaware of the cyclists bearing down on them. The importance of eye contact cannot be overstated.

Obey the law.?Some bikers will just assume the right of way and not bother to stop. While completely illegal, this maneuver meets the expectations of some motorists and they pause accordingly, letting the cyclist go. Assuming that every motorist will extend this courtesy is not only bold, it?s extremely dangerous.

Chicago police have cracked down on cyclists disobeying traffic laws as recently as last summer. From a liability standpoint, cyclists should always obey the law, lest they be stripped of any legal entitlements in the event of an accident. Likewise, it?s important that bikers know their own rights, should post- collision litigation ever occur.

Bicycling is a wonderful means of transportation, but it can be very dangerous. Cyclists and drivers need to show mutual respect so they can share the road.

Cold weather front brings drizzle to the Bay Area

OAKLAND, Calif. ?

AT&T Park?s ground crew had something unexpected to deal with on Monday ? a wet field to prepare for the San Francisco Giants-Chicago Cubs afternoon baseball game.

While rainouts are common this time of year in ball parks across the country, the ground crew at the home of the Giants almost never has to deal with wet conditions once June comes around.

A cold weather front moving down the coast from British Columbia brought the rare light showers to the region. By noon, most Bay Area cities were only reporting a trace of rain with 0.22 inches in Ben Lomond in the Santa Cruz Mountains being the area with the highest accumulation.

However, the wet weather did manage to create havoc with the flight schedule at San Francisco International Airport. Delays of up to three hours were reported.

In the Sierra, showers were forecasted with some snow flurries above 7,000 feet. The same held true for Yosemite National Park.

The wet weather was expected to clear out of the region by Monday evening.

TORONTO (AP) ? A gunman fired shots in a crowded food court in one of Canada's busiest malls Saturday killing a man and injuring seven others, police said.

Police Chief Bill Blair said the shooting at Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto targeted one individual and there were a number of innocent bystanders. Police constable Victor Kwong said two people were in critical condition after being shot at the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto, including a 13-year old boy. The 25-year-old man who was killed died at the scene, he said.

Kwong said six people were shot in all, including the deceased. Two people were trampled on and pushed, including a pregnant woman who went into labor after she was pushed, he said.

Blair said investigators have a description of the suspect.

"A lot of innocent people were hurt and a lot of innocent people were put at risk," Blair said. "We will be relentless in our pursuit of the individual."

Witnesses said multiple shots were fired in the mall's food court and that hundreds of panicked shoppers sprinted for the exits. The mall, which is popular with tourists, was evacuated.

Swarms of people watched from outside as an injured man with visible bullet wounds was wheeled out on a stretcher.

Toronto Blue Jays baseball player Brett Lawrie was in the mall when the shooting took place and was one of the first to take to Twitter to break the news.

"Pretty sure someone just let off a round bullets in eaton center mall ... Wow just sprinted out of the mall ... through traffic," he tweeted. "People sprinting up the stairs right from where we just were ... Wow wow wow."

He later tweeted that he was "Rattled right now."

Marcus Neves-Polonio, 19, was working in the food court when he saw a man pull out a gun and start firing. At least two people were on the ground, he said.

"All of a sudden a herd of people were just running toward us, a massive crowd of people screaming, running, freaking out," said Hannah Stewart, 21, a shopper. "We saw this girl, sitting on the ground, and she had blood on her toes." The girl appeared to have been one of the victims and told Stewart she had just been shot.

Another victim said he was hit in the leg by a stray bullet.

"We had just gone shopping. We heard shots and hit the ground. A couple of seconds later I got hit," said Nicholas, who declined to provide his last name in an interview on CP24 television as he left the hospital. "I actually ran. It was a survival instinct. I'm tired but I'm pretty good."

He said he didn't see the shooter. "Nothing surprises me, but out in the open? Come on," he said.

Tonya Mahmood said her sister was shot in the leg but is doing better.

"We're just waiting to see if she'll need surgery," she told CP24 outside the hospital. "She's one of the nicest persons in the whole world. She was just shopping with her friends and she got shot. It's just heartbreaking. We're so lucky. We're thanking God. My parents are thanking God that it was the leg. It could have been anywhere else."

Erica Solmes, who manages the McDonald's in the mall's food court, said she heard about 15 shots ring out before a stampede of people made a dash for the exits.

Blair called the Eaton Centre an iconic landmark in Toronto, Canada's largest city.

"Any place for discharging a firearm in Toronto is dangerous. In the food court of the Eaton Centre on a Saturday evening, it's not only dangerous, it's outrageous," he said. "I believe every Torontonian is shocked and appalled by this crime."

Toronto prides itself on being one of the safest cities in North America. Many Canadians have long taken comfort in the peacefulness of their communities and are nervous about anything that might indicate they are moving closer to their American counterparts.

In 2005, a 15-year-old girl was killed during the Christmas holidays just north of the mall in a shooting that shocked the city during a year of record gun deaths in Toronto. In that case, Toronto teen Jane Creba was shopping with family on busy Yonge Street when she was caught in the crossfire of a shootout between rival gangs.

"Today harkens back to that terrible moment," Blair said. "I am very sadly reminded of that. That was one of the most tragic and shocking events that ever took place in Toronto."

Kwong said police are in the process of reviewing security tapes. He said they had concluded a search of the mall.

"It's absolutely terrible," Toronto Mayor Rob Ford said.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty called it a case of "senseless, tragic violence" and expressed his condolences to the victims and their families.

The area around the mall was quickly blocked off after the shooting and the Eaton Centre itself was evacuated and closed down. A portion of a major subway line, which services the mall, was also temporarily shut down.

Police spent much of Saturday evening trying to clear out thousands of people who were milling around outside the mall, mostly trying to figure out what happened.
