1st One, I was riding through a Round about almost out the other side. Lady driver comes straight through brushed me and hit the car next to me. Her explination "Didn't know I had to give way to bikes and didn't see the car" !!!

2nd one, I was riding happily down a main road in the bike lane Parked car opens door and leaves me no where to go but down.

3rd one, group of young fellas think bikes shouldn't be on the road and decide to play chicken with my back tyre.

Accident: Car drives up behind me hits back wheel I fall off. It was about six pm bad light so I guess the driver had some excuse even though I had a flashing red light on the back, a white strobe light on the front and I was wearing a bright yellow bike jersey with reflective stripes.

Not sure how I could have avoided any of the above, other than riding on the foot path.


If you have any ideas let me know.
