man.. the area of Hoskin in front of the Phys Ed building on UofT campus is a ****ing deathtrap this time of the year. There's a kid's camp that happens there so in the morning going through that 150' section is like having 10 cabs dive in front of you, but it's all parents dropping off their brats. This morning 3 cars dove in front of me and parked in the bike lane, and there were enough parking spots for probably 4-5 cars right in front of the building. I had one Cadillac park (again, full taxi-style) directly next to a parking spot that was long enough to even pull in head-on.

And I totally came -> <- close to getting right-hooked by a cab turning onto your street, Shiznaz.

I like to complain. That is all, go about your business.
