Barrington Hills (IL) anti-cyclist ordinance nabs first victims
http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/couriernews/news/1704734,Bicycle-police-crackdown_el080609.article
OR http://bit.ly/qBCZG Long story short, a small group of vocal residents got the village of Barrington Hills (a massively spread out area of horse farms and massive estates, with lovely, winding roads) to pass a pair of anti-cyclist ordinances because they didn't like sharing the roads with cycling clubs on Sunday morning (when bikes outnumber cars by 10-1 or so). An LBS owner (a really nice guy, BTW) and his buddies were the first to get pinched, but were allowed off without a fine. The local advocacy groups are working on this, but if the village board is half as recalcitrant as I fear they are, this will not be an easy fight to win. -- Kristian Zoerhoff |
