CHICAGO BICYCLE DEATH ILLUSTRATES DANGER OF OPENED CAR DOORS

By Steve Heisler on December 26, 2008

Twenty two year old Clinton Miceli was killed on June 9, 2008 in Chicago, Illinois when his bicycle slammed into a car door opened by the driver of a SUV. Miceli was traveling on North Lasalle Drive when he struck the door and was thrown from his bike. He was run over by oncoming traffic and died of head injuries resulting from the fatal auto accident.

Bicyclesafe.com founder Michael Bluejay states that cyclists running into parked cars in traffic happens much more than you may think. He relates that it is the number one source of bicycle-automobile collisions in Santa Barbara, California.

What should Baltimore Bicycle riders do to avoid this from happening to them? Bluejay recommends that Baltimore cyclists ride far enough to the left of the curb so they will see any doors that are opened suddenly.

You may be worried about riding so far into the lane that cars can’t pass you easily, but you’re more likely to get doored by a parked car if you ride to close to it than you are to get hit from behind by a car which can clearly see you, says Bluejay.

Be safe when you bike and stay tuned to my next post about The Crosswalk Slam. In the meantime, feel free to e-mail me at sheisler@injurylawyermd.com with any comments or bike safety tips.
