When a motorist flings a door open in front of a cyclist passing in the bike lane, Chicago bikers call it a "dooring"and often just charge it to the cost of riding in a big city.
As of Wednesday, the City Council calls it illegal and will charge motorists anywhere from $150 to $500 for each violation.
The anti-dooring legislation joined a pack of other bike-friendly laws passed by the council Wednesday.
The laws impose fines on motorists who turn left or right in front of someone on a bicycle; pass with less than 3 feet of space between car and bike; or park in or otherwise obstruct marked bike lanes.
