Sorry to hear about your accident OP. If you were riding on Canal St., that street's way too crowded to not be riding in the door zone. Taking a lane will just get you stuck in traffic. Keep on riding, even if it's in the park.
I've seen the same guy try to door two different people in succession. First he tried dooring a cyclist, but missed and when he missed he tried to door another car. After he doored the car, he just walked off and didn't look at all sorry for what he did.
