A pickup truck towing a horse trailer (without a license plate on the trailer) aggressively passed a group of seven riders on Bateman Rd. The riders at the time were traveling not much below the 35 MPH speed limit. The victims felt the department was not too interested in finding the motorist, though the particular officer seemed thorough. Our group's next meeting is 7PM, March 10 at Alberto's Cycles in Highland Park, all are welcome. Active Trans has just appointed a North Suburban Coordinator who we expect will be advocating for us with these villages. <BR/><BR/>read about the work at http://cyclingadvocacy.blogspot.com/Chicago North and Lake County Bicyling Advocacyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15455694649124703928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513607701621663427.post-84501176249268732932009-02-14T21:19:00.000-08:002009-02-14T21:19:00.000-08:00Turin - Yeh Barrington has a alot of Equstrians, but not too much on the roads.<BR/><BR/>SpeedE- Yes I assume they can still pass, so perhaps we could always be in a constant paceline?<BR/><BR/>Joe - It is unfortunate that a few bad encounters need to ruin it for the rest. But I can also say that most cyclists are guilty of not obeying rules of the road 100%. But cars are also guilty of this as well.Bryan C McVeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08718067966681016332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513607701621663427.post-17523146344989026762009-02-14T12:37:00.000-08:002009-02-14T12:37:00.000-08:00As a cyclist who rides through Barrington Hills on both recreational rides and as an alternate route when I bike commute to work I am strongly opposed to the ordinance. Why on earth wouldn't they just enforce the Illinois motor vehicle law which gives them adequate ability to ticket cyclists who run stop signs and fail to go single file when obstructing traffic???<BR/><BR/>With that said, I have on numerous occasions (both on my bike and in my car) witnessed cyclists blowing stop signs and rudely obstructing vehicles on Penny Road, Bateman, etc. These actions certainly hurt our cause in trying to get motorists to respect us as a group.<BR/><BR/>Joe Lewis<BR/>Vice-President<BR/>McHenry County Bicycle Advocates<BR/>www.mcbicycleadvocates.orgJoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00346216619934577394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513607701621663427.post-57493476520592610792009-02-13T22:25:00.000-08:002009-02-13T22:25:00.000-08:00I assume that it is still legal for a cyclist to pass another cyclist?<BR/><BR/>Also, if the only reason to mandate single file riding is to not slow traffic then shouldn't it be ok to ride two abreast whenever cyclists are maintaining or exceeding the posted speed limit?SpeedEBikeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10365113739957566970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513607701621663427.post-85207001586388236902009-02-11T13:06:00.000-08:002009-02-11T13:06:00.000-08:00I can't find this survey they claim is the reason behind this ordinance? One way to counter is to look at accident stats for vehicle vs. vehicle and vehicle vs. bike.<BR/><BR/>If there are already laws about how to operate a bike, then the Barrington PD should be enforcing them. <BR/><BR/>Agree with Reid about the mentality of drivers being "held up" by slower traffic. Doesn't Barrington have a lot of equestrian users too?Turinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07846158092279742190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513607701621663427.post-7992658480759078402009-02-10T05:47:00.000-08:002009-02-10T05:47:00.000-08:00Good points. But the perspective of drivers is that the surface belongs to them and is designed for their vehicle transportation, not recreational sport. Also drivers tend to adopt the mentality that anything impeading their normal traveling speed is someone elses fault. You can't convince them that they live in an area where there are people other then just drivers on the road way and that they should leave 5min earlier to account for that. What happened to cars yielding the right of way to bicycles and pedestrians? It seems like its the responsibility of the smaller more fragil of those to yield to the larger and more powerful.
