Had to rebuild the whole thing. Still working on it. Has taken some time.

Yup, that is what happened.

Exactly that.

What is even more amazing is how many people still blame the cyclist for this incident. Attitudes need to change badly in this city.

I just chalk it up to random bad behaviour. Rhetoric unfortunately fans the flames and emboldens some bad behaviour out there. I have cameras rolling almost all the time now, and no issue taking the time to file.

I would agree. The irony the more you seek out being away from cars, the worse the bad actors tend to be. I got my first, for lack of a better term “rock shower” riding gravel last year. Driver intentionally slowed, then gunned it. I was not pleased.

Maybe luck. For me I think being on a road bike in full Lycra kit, moving fast 35-50km/hr, but not fast enough is the trigger for some of it. I can be riding slow on the pathways in Fish Creek, and people will get mad do nothing wrong. Same on the road. I don’t get it on my upright with a big basket

I wish I could say the same Rose. I had a bottle thrown at me last year. As well as a car follow me onto a bike path trying to run me off it. Yelling I never can decipher what they are going on about.

Yes, but I think the vast majority of people wouldn’t be comfortable. It is better than nothing, but it really is nothing.
