"three days after he was riding his bicycle in Glencoe and struck an Amazon van that was stopped along a roadway"

As Casey Neistadt would note, no matter what you gotta pay attentionm but there is no "along a roadway" on Sheridan. The correct statement was "that was parked in the bike lane"

According to the article he was apparently still peddling as he hit the van. Add "looking at phone" to "ignoring stop signs" as things you cyclists do?

How do you not see a parked Amazon van?

It said he played with the Effigies. I’d never heard of them, but I know I saw a FB post or something earlier today promoting them. Weird.

he looked to go around the van and whoops - there was a car going 45 mph in the "car lane" and he made the least bad decision.

And it's "How do you not see an illegally parked Amazon van" which I guess is sort of canonical, an Amazon van, if parked, tends to be illegally parked. One more reason Bezos is a menace.

If an Amazon Van parked itself in the fast lane of I-80 and someone ran into it, would you be saying "how can you not see that parked Amazon van?". No, you'd be freaking out as to why that van was parked in the middle of the road.

New idea for Amazon delivery. Air drops.

There appears to be an issue whether the Amazon van was illegally parked because it was only stopped.

I don’t really care if it’s illegally parked or not. Mf still ran into a parked vehicle so hard it killed him.

He either wasn’t paying attention OR made the terrible decision to assume he could veer into the roadway to dodge the Amazon truck at speed rather than slow down properly. Both are reckless.

I’m 100% sure he did the latter because this is how those assholes ride ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

There appears to be an issue whether the Amazon van was illegally parked because it was only stopped.

"The van occupant was sorting through packages in the back of the vehicle," Perley said. He confirmed that these were deliveries for Amazon. "The vehicle was not 'parked.' It was 'stopped,' according to what the state definition of 'parked' is." He said the vehicle's four-way flashers were on at the time.

-> Ok, you people are right. Illinois is a ridiculous, crazy, state. "My hazards were on, therefore I was not parked, I was stopped". Can I go park at a meter in the loop all day and avoid parking tickets by putting my hazards on?

FWIW - and to you I'm sure it's worth nothing, I crashed a couple years ago by hitting a bollard on a bike path. There's a lot to unpack from that incident.

There was construction on the right side of the bike path, so I was taking a line towards the center of the path to avoid the construction. The sun was in my eyes. And despite being 10 years younger than the deceased, it turns out I was developing cataracts, and my vision was going to shit, slowly, in a way that isn't noticeable from day to day but generally you start to worry about what is going on. This manifested itself worse when it was dark or if there was sun in my line of sight.

So about 5 yards from the bollard in the middle of the path, I saw it right in front of me, swerved as best as I could, but still nicked it with my right hand and broke a finger.

So the question is - "why did I run into a pole right in the middle of the bike path!" - No - the question is why is there this asinine pole in the middle of the bike path? The great minds at traffic engineering would say it would be to protect me from drivers driving onto the bike path. If drivers are so screwed up that they drive onto bike paths, why aren't we fixing that, instead of putting obstacles on bike paths?

He was in a bike lane and has an expectation that there won't be cars in the bike lane. Suns in his eyes, his vision is deteriorating, got stung by a bee, whatever. Any number of simple things that would be a nothing burger, and aren't illegal, but this jackass just didn't even flinch to illegally park in the bike lane.

because this is how those assholes "stop" ALL THE FUCKING TIME

The law is the law, you know. Well, only if you are on a bike, according to Custard. I do have to apologize to PAMan, he is not Grindr's biggest customer, that would be Custard

Murph, forgot to add "looking at the phone" onto that list. I am now wondering if you were looking at my Grindr page when you crashed.

Maybe, it's hard to get to your page because Custard is pretty much doing a DOS on it, so it could be very distracting trying to load it.

I was ticketed once for parking in the bike lane while Ubering on N Wells once if that makes Murph or anyone else happy. Wells sucks because there is nowhere to wait for people without parking in the bike lane or blocking the entire street. I’d estimate about 4 other cars were parked in the bike lane while the officer was writing my ticket. One guy in a white van even parked in the bike lane, got out and walked around his vehicle.

I got the attention of the cop because the lady with her Starbucks tray was on the other side of the street and wanted me to swing around.

I'm sure Murph is disappointed the police officer did not shoot you for your transgression against humanity there
