I was riding my bike, making a left turn. Another cyclist came toward me, heading straight through the intersection. I stopped before I was in his path so it didn't come close to a collision at all. However, it is true that I didn't notice him when I started the turn. He shouted at me and I was embarrassed. With all the ranting I do about transportation, I should do a better job when I am actually on the road.

Was he riding close to the curb or center lane biased? ;)

You yielded the right of way to him, so he had nothing to shout about.

That pretty much explains why some motorists just don't see us. We're just a very small blip on the radar screen. A cyclist should be more aware of other cyclists but in this case that just didn't happen either.

Lmao... HH cracks me up.

He was close to the edge of the road. Technically, there is a bike lane there but it's only about two feet wide. He would have been more visible if he was closer to the center. Now that I think about it, he was passing a car so I it might be that the car was blocking my view of him. I guess that's another reason to avoid passing on the right.
