Just a PSA that my partner was assaulted in the bike lanes this morning in Palmer Park. He commutes via bike every day and this woman has apparently been walking in the bike lanes for the last few weeks and refusing to move. Last week she swung a post at him as he rode by and has thrown sticks too, and today she was waiting for him and jumped out in front of him to pepper spray him. The cops were called and all they did was tell her to move out of the bike lane next time. Pretty disappointed in their response, so if you ride a bike through Palmer just be on the lookout for crazies. To get to work, Palmer is basically the only safe option for cyclists to get downtown from the burbs unless you want to risk your life on Livernois or Woodward.
