As a cyclist, the opening door is one of your worst nightmares. You think you’re riding wide enough to avoid a swinging door and all of a sudden BANG! You’re flipping in the air and into the middle of the road into the path of a car.

Doors can be fatal for cyclists, and this campaign is trying to raise money in Chicago to inform motorists of the dangers their doors pose to cyclists.

Remember the old saying – “Look left, look right, look bike”? Perhaps it’s time for all motorists to remember it. Or for that fact, perhaps all motorists should be made to drive amongst peak hour traffic so that they understand what harm they often do to the commuting cyclist.
