inevitably some useless **** will cut the bend in the road and almost take me out.
Going Westbound on Queen just after Ossingtion, the street goes from 2 lanes to 1 with no indication and, through no fault of their own, the drivers don't realize that they have to merge and quite often I find myself smushed between the parked cars and the moving ones. It sucks and it is only because I am so familiar with that part of the street that I haven't literally been smushed....one day, it will happen to an inexperienced cyclist and someone will get badly hurt.
The city really should be on top of this (and all of the other pitfalls that we face) but nah, cars are more important, blah blabh blabh
