Incident type: Crash
Any incident where a cyclist comes off their bike or collides with another party or object.
A range rover decided he was going to get ahead of my buddy irrespective of the rules of the road. He squeezed my teammate against the curb and then when my teammate moved into the road to avoid an old drain pipe and make a right turn, the range rover rolled over his rear wheel knocking him down. Fortunately, there were no injuries and the police showed up and took a report from all three of us.
Attempted a 60 km ride to honour Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, but irony struck when I got doored near the end of my ride by a driver who didn’t even check his mirror. 🚗💥
Stopped at a light, SUV pulled up next to me. SUV began to turn, grabbing my handlebars and throwing me to the ground.
Van driver was fine, no one injured, must have been going too fast and lost it on a narrow steep road and managed to flip on its side without hitting the banks. Luckily the Police were on scene and taking care of the situation
Motorist pulls into right lane and stops at red light. Then right blinker is put on and it becomes apparent that the motorist would like to back into a parking spot. While checking traffic to see if I can get out of the way, the motorist reversed into me injuring my hand. The motorist said “Why are you not in a crosswalk? I was going to park the car and I didn’t even see you. I had my blinker on and you were not in any mirrors.” The question about the crosswalk is strange as it sounds like she is suggesting that bicyclists should not bicycle on the road. The explanation is plausible because I saw her check her side mirrors, but not look out the rear window. If I could see her head then she could have seen me if she had looked out the rear window or rear view mirror. There was a bus that pulled up behind me so I was trying to escape to the side, but I was not quick enough to evade the crash. As always, assume that bicyclists are invisible and ride defensively.
I had priority, the vehicle did not stop.
