    Sad now that cyclists have to expect every car to do that. When nearing cars, you have to have hands 'at the ready' over the brake levers.

    A friend of mine told me when on the bike you’re invisible. It’s a shame but that has saved me many times.

    This seems to be a particular blind spot situation for drivers. I have been hit twice in my life - both in Vancouver. Both were this exact situation - vehicle travelling in same direction as cyclist in a protected bike lane, vehicle makes a right turn without checking the bike lane. In my case they were both while going up Burrard St. in Kitsilano - thankfully the uphill travel meant speeds were less than normal. Contact was made with the vehicle but we were both almost at a standstill by the time contact occurred.

      Glad you’re ok. I’ve had this scenario many times and each time I find it’s either out of sight out of mind, or the driver underestimating the speed of people riding bicycles. It can be understandable (but still wrong) when the driver has been at a red light as the cyclist approaches or otherwise ahead of the cyclist for some time, but it’s hard to fathom when the driver has *just* passed the cyclist.

    I get it, I'm a commuter. But you seems like you are looking for things to whinge about.
