It didn't hit me how close it was until I got home and watched the camera footage. Honestly the arm waving was as upset as I got. Passes like this, well usually they're not that close, happen all the time on that AVE. Fortunately the city is supposed to be putting in a bike lane sometime next month and taking out a car lane. Unfortunately the lane won't be protected.
