The soft chiming of bike bells filled the air in Bridgeport on Monday evening as hundreds of cyclists rode along South Halsted Street to honor the life of city worker and cycling advocate Riley O’Neil, who was killed last week while riding his bike in the neighborhood. blockclubchi.co/3S16HWg

CDOT lost the best of our team yesterday. We're heartbroken. In memory of Riley O'Neil, please refer to these bike racks as "Riley Racks". He led Chicago's bike parking program for several years. Our hearts are broken, but we want to make sure his legacy lives on 💙🚲 Please spread the word

After a driver doored a man, 35, biking in a paint-only bike lane in Bridgeport, causing his death, advocates demand that the City install more protected lanes to prevent these kinds of killings. @activetransportation.org @bikegridnow.org @slucy.bsky.social @sidestreets.bsky.social @stevevance.net
