I brake hard, but its not enough, so I turn hard right onto Davenport and rub up against his car. This was a ridiculously close call, and I'm getting sick and ****ing tired of fools paying no attention to what's around them.

Also on Christie, south of Bloor and before Harbord, people can't keep their ****ing lane. Cars constantly straddle over the solid white into the bike lane. Some times its so bad, half of their car is in the bike lane. WTF.

Mike the RR looks delicious, and those Aksiums will never die!
I find myself drifting into the lane more and more these days to avoid being hit by right turn drivers.
