This is a GREAT idea. I'm on the cyclists' side for the most part, and think most car drivers are idiots who can barely pay attention to their surroundings, but with the growing number of people bikin...

Why does it look like she's wearing prison orange in that photo?...

Bill, the funny thing is that you were the first person I thought of when watching this ... heh heh!...

Wait, we're only fifth? Obviously they didn't factor the consumption of the Chicagoist staff into their final numbers....
