I'm glad he's ok, and sounds like he did a good fast maneuver to avoid the crash. The right hook, was that a door? Or right turn in front of him? No matter, he's ok.

I take side and parallel streets whenever I can. My ride to BART could be a straight shot up busy West Tennyson crossing the on and off ramps of 880. Instead I swing around it where ..... there's a bike/ped overpass.

E-mail from me flies back and forth to the city; just two little signs, one each on either side of the freeway would tell the (mostly working poor I see, not "cyclists" as we know 'em) riders who go East to West that dangerous way that there's a bike route THATAWAY.

These riders are not going to do recreational rides to try to find a safe way around. It took me months to find the unsigned route! The bike overpass ends at a school so where's that 'Safe Routes to School" money?

Sorry 'bout the rant, glad your guy's ok!
