  • Chicago Police Say It Loud: Bikes Belong
    Brad Aaron 10 September 2009, StreetsBlog
    This amazing video, via Chicago Bicycle Advocate, was produced for the Chicago Police Department to educate drivers, cyclists and officers on traffic laws pertaining to bikes.

    Considering the consistent disregard and hostility projected by New York's Finest, that such videos exist (San Francisco has one too - Visit Site ) is remarkable enough. But here, interspersed with horror stories from civilian cyclists, we have actual police officers -- close to a dozen are listed in the credits -- instructing their colleagues not just to enforce the law, but to treat bike riders with respect as rightful users of the road.
