For Motorists
What Else Can I Do?
Sign up - We ask you to sign up on our "No More Doors" page, pledging to check for cyclists every time. With this page, we hope to put a human face on both sides of the door, and to encourage both cyclists and motorists to be careful in the "door zone."
Tell your friends – Tell anyone you know that rides a bike or drives a car about dooring, and about this page. Ask them to also take the "No More Doors" pledge.
Get Free Stuff - We have clear stickers that go on your rear-view mirror to remind you and anyone else in your household that drives your car to check for cyclists. They do not impede your view, but do help you keep your promise to always check. Send an e-mail to info@anti-dooring.org with the subject "rear-view" and your mailing address, and we will send you one for each mirror, free of charge as long as our supplies hold out. We promise not to send you anything else in the mail, or give your address to anyone, or use it for anything at all besides sending you those stickers.
Stickers - We have sticker designs that you can download and print for distribution in your city (we’ve got Chicago covered, but we need help everywhere else). They are designed to go in street parking areas to remind motorists to check for cyclists. Our goal at anti-dooring.org is to raise awareness, not annoyance. So we ask that you NOT put these stickers on any private property that doesn’t belong to you, or cover up any important signage that others need (such as rates on parking meters).
Laws - Recently Chicago passed a new Bicycle Safety Ordinance which (among other things) imposes a $500 fine on motorists who open their doors into cyclists. We encourage you to look into the law in your area, and contact your local elected representatives to encourage the passage of similar laws in your area if they are not in place already. However, Clint’s death occurred after the passage of this law, so clearly legal penalties alone are not enough. Thus we also encourage you to also participate in activities raising awareness about dooring and cyclists in your area.
E-mail list - Finally, if you’d like to contribute to anti-dooring.org to defray sticker and postage costs, or be kept up to date on our efforts (we promise not to spam you, give your e-mail address to anyone else, or do anything else irritating with it) send mail to info@anti-dooring.org with the subject "put me on your e-mail list." We will keep you up to date on any efforts to raise money or other actions we’re taking.
