PSA Re: Bicyclists

Nobody, and I mean, NOBODY checks before opening the door, even when the door opens into the bike lane. And they get an angry look on their face when I ring my bell.

People also get supremely annoyed when you say in a friendly voice "Not a great place to stop!"

Still the bicycles fault for hitting the car. Similar to how you are at fault if you hit a car that is parked illegally. Drivers are responsible for not hitting stationary objects.

Yeah the cyclist made a mistake, but wouldn't you get uneasy leaving your door open into traffic for five minutes? Common sense, never mind the violation.
 
I just can't get over the look of hate in the eyes of cagers when you ring your bell...they clearly had no idea you were coming towards them, and yet they are angry that you warned them.

I ordered an electric horn we'll see how it works because there have been more times I've needed a horn on a bicycle than on my moto.

I couldn't believe the girly screech that came out of the mouth of a grown man. Maybe huffing farts at that speed changes your voice, like helium. Had I not been very careful, slow and looking out for cyclists, broseph would have huffed his final fart that day. Lucky for him, I'm courteous. :x

Me too. I find that "HEEY! Works pretty well too because then all the pedestrians witness your accident. You can also follow it up with more creative things.

Let us know how the horn works out so we can buy them too.

Cars can't hear me yelling at them.

Also work trucks always park next to the bike path and keep their doors open directly in the path....the look on the workers faces can only be described as Duhhhh

Also the god damn Mercedes delivery truck blocks the bike lane every few days.
