Another wonderful story about being a Toronto cyclist...
Caught on tape!
In more personal news, I too joined the ranks of "hit by car" this past week, but it was a pretty good story compared to the others I've heard here lately. I was following fairly slow moving traffic on Queen, and was hovering along the lane line passing parked cars -- just outside the door zone but not quite near the streetcar track. As we passed the last parked car, the guy in front of me slowed + pulled over to the right (no signal).. I hit both brakes + skidded to a stop with my hand on his trunk. His excuse was that his passenger told him to pull over, so he did.. without looking. He was apologetic + wanted to make sure I was okay.. no damage done, so I just told him to be careful. He proceeded to pull away + make a right turn without signalling. Dumbass.
