I did see a guy on a bike almost getting hit by a right-turning car (that had just sped past me quite loudly, some BMW sports car) this morning. The cyclist was crossing at the crosswalk. This confirms to me that it is a BAD IDEA for cyclists to use crosswalks in most situations. The driver used his honk, the cyclist used "choice words" as I've seen mentioned elsewhere today.

Oh yeah and another one: another man (not looking like an especially good-cyclist-citizen, I must say) was almost run over by a speeding-through-the-very-dark-orange-light SUV at a busy button-activated intersection on the (busy) bike route. More choice words and a lot of honking from various cars, some warning the cyclist of the incoming doomsday vehicle. Other cyclists at the same intersections were very amused that the SUV had Texas plates, as very seldom do Vancouverites so aggressively plow their cars through bike routes like that. Of course I know that not all Texans are crazy drivers....

Maybe there is something with the moon...!
