Archmage of Procrastination

Riley O'Neil was riding in an unprotected bike lane when someone in a parked car opened their door in front of him, and he fell into the street, where he was hit by another vehicle.

O'Neil was an employee who worked for the city's Complete Streets team – which aims to make streets safer for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit – and previously led CDOT's bike parking program for several years.

@Zygos I’m not blaming the victim, but I am surprised he was riding in the door zone.

@adamrice Commuters that have to mix with cars on a regular basis have more courage than I do.

Expecting human behavior to improve is never a sound strategy for infrastructure.
