I almost got killed the other day simply exiting the door of my apartment by a bicyclist blazing down the sidewalk at a million miles per hour. It scared the **** out of me. Those !@#$ers never do anything right around here, half the time they're on the sidewalk (and no I don't move out of the way when they ring their little bells at me, it's a sidewalk), the other half the time they're blowing red lights, weaving between cars, and pulling up to a red light in the bike lane then moving into the center of the traffic lane just to be !@#$s.
Here's a question for bikers... when I'm in my car with the turn signal on about to make a right turn (across the bike lane), what happens if I make my turn and a biker going 20+ MPH smashes in to the side of my car? Am I at fault? It seems to me that the burden has to be on the biker, in most cases it's impossible to see the bike approaching... it's hard enough to deal with all the pedestrians, and who expects to get passed on the right when you're already in the right lane? I've had so many close calls that half the time I'm afraid to make a turn without looking over my shoulder now.
