Award season is definitely here...
Today (Saturday)I witnessed a Chevy Avalanche come down the north side of "Conoco" hill fully in the bike lane traveling at something above 45 mph.
I keep seeing more and more folks talking on cell phones while driving. I'm also seeing more and more distracted walkers on Omega bridge (and other locations). 50% or more are listening to music, talking on cell phones, or playing with their smart phones. No situational awareness whatsoever.
These two crashes you describe are the scariest for a cyclist. They would be almost impossible to avoid if you in the wrong place at the wrong time. Most of the other stupid driver tricks can be anticipated and avoided if you are paying attention.
Be careful out there!

Everybody in this town is in a big, fat, fucking hurry to complete their seven-minute drive to and from home. That type of behavior must make their tiny dicks seem larger or their sagging tits and pear-shaped bodies seem more attractive somehow. Man is a bad animal.
Ya, maybe all true, but the biggest problem for the cyclist is the increasing distracted driving and even distracted walking. Cheaper and more prevalent smart phones is not helping. Where will it end? Oh, it probably won't. Darwin will prevail.
