Show Notes
With an average of five crashes a day, bicyclists have been involved in more than 16-hundred traffic crashes in Chicago so far this year.
The crashes leave some cyclists with thousands of dollars in bike repairs and medical bills. Most suffer from injuries, such as lacerations and broken bones.
And some have even been killed.
WBEZ’s Jessica Alvarado Gamez has the story of how cyclists say the city is not moving fast enough to keep them safe.
