I have to say, my 5mi commute seems to be getting worse and worse. I was doored and thrown to the ground back in early May, and while I'm mostly physically recovered (nothing serious, just lingering pains in my hands and kind of a contusion that hasn't fully flushed from my lower right leg), it could be partly a result of my mental state, but the drivers just seem completely careless and inattentive. So many people follow no rules or standards (no signaling, ignoring lanes, lights and signs, idling as if they're parked and then zooming into the road, passing and then cutting you off). I really feel unseen these days, and I'm six-and-a-half-feet-tall, with blinking lights. Smartphones, overly powered and insulated vehicles and a lack of road maintenance and traffic enforcement have made what was usually something generally enjoyable into something a little terrifying. Even my fellow cyclists are ignoring rules and etiquette these days (does anyone ever announce themselves any more when they pass?). I've been bike commuting for >25 years but most everyone is telling me to throw in the towel.
