Another Chicago bicyclist killed

A 24-year-old woman was killed when her bike collided with a car Thursday afternoon. Police think the car may have run a red light.

A couple of times I’ve posted comments about the proposed red-light cameras in Rockford. As a bicyclist, I see cars run the red in front of me almost every day. If cameras can get a few of the chronic light runners to stop, we might have fewer accidents (as reported in a previous post) and perhaps save a life or two.

The Tribune seems to pay more attention to bicycle issues than the Sun-Times or the suburban papers. Maybe that’s because there are so many bike riders on the staff.
