I was going slowly on a narrow bicycle lane that goes against the traffic on a small one way street, closing in on an intersection. This intersection is just next to a school and both streets have very little traffic and a lot of speed bumps. As I was getting close to the intersection, a car came down a steep hill from my right and turned left to the street i was going down, he was driving recklessly and I slowed down having the intersection just ahead of me... but soon after the first car came his friend in a mini van trying to keep up, and he made an insane turn which almost took me out. His wheels would probably have gone over the corner of the sidewalk and my bike lane, if I hadn't been in his way. Fortunately he stopped just in time, so I could live to tell the story

Lesson learned: Insane drivers are everywhere, speed bumps does not slow them down, nor does stop signs and they will happily speed through blind turns next to a school yards if it serves their schedule and the fantasy that going by car in a densely populated city is somehow a quick way to get from point A to B. I also learned that bicycle lanes are just paint on the ground to serve the politicians agenda of giving people the impression of a bicycle friendly city, while in fact it gave me a very false sense of security.
