The second time (of three) that I was hit by a car was because of right turn on red. Drivers go right while staring left, it’s an obvious recipe for danger.

The other two times were drivers straight up not seeing me despite me being basically directly in front of them though. One did a left turn into me while I was in the opposing bike lane, the other did a right turn into me while I was crossing a crosswalk with the walk signal

oncoming traffic turning right is the most dangerous thing in the world to cyclist.

controlled intersection, random sidestreets, a fucking driveway. it’s all the same. oncoming traffic will turn right across you. i’ve had so, so, so, so many close calls.

stay vigilant and safe out there everyone. if you have a side road to your right* definitely watch oncoming traffic up to your left* to see what they’re doing.

As a biker I assume that every single car is actively trying to kill me at all times. This is one of those reasons.

I’m a bike commuter and I’m scared to carry a gun here because I’d probably have shot a driver by now.
