Nice ride in this morning. No issues other than a minivan driver who stopped to drop off a passenger in a no-stopping zone by the sky train station, then proceeds to pull a 3-point turn in the middle of the road which is marked "no-stopping" on both sides of the street. This part of the road is on a slight gradient (station at Cambie and Marine coming up from Kent Ave) and as I stopped my bike and shook my head at his three point turn, he got all riled and upset. So he honked at me as I waited for him to complete his 180* turn. A pedestrian woman walking by also shook her head at his decision.

After he honked, I turned around and told him off something along the lines of "Are you kidding me? Doing a three point turn on a road marked no stopping on both sides?". I then pointed to my helmet and said, "Use your head!" At this point, he, a short Filipino man who obviously objected to my evaluation of his driving decisions, unclipped his seat belt. But I was done and it was time to continue my commute. If you know that section of road, you'll know why there is no stopping along both sides of the street by the skytrain station. But since there is no enforcement, cars and vehicles stop along that section all the time especially to pick up commuters alighting off the train after work. <sigh>

Be very careful if you ride downhill towards Kent. Between cars crowding and blocking the bike lane as they merge to turn west along Marine, pedestrians who cross the intersection on their red light as you are coming down the hill on your green light and cars waiting for passengers in the No Stopping zone, its a veritable death trap or an injury waiting to happen.
