...please watch where you are going.

what the fuck is up with people who can't drive in SF? do they not realize that cyclists are allowed full use of the lanes? do they not notice the bike lanes? do they not know how to use a signal? yesterday mo gets sideswiped by an idiot tourist, today i almost get sideswiped by a retard on 5th and howard. luckily i was only going like 5 mph and he was too. but he of course decides to just jump over into the bike lane without signaling, i had to pound on his window with my fist and he had this, "i didn't see you" look on his face. WTF? i swear people do not know how to use their mirrors. had he looked, signaled properly, and waited before merging this would not have happened. but the thing that gets me the most is how many people i see driving around at high speeds not using their blinkers, jutting in and out of lanes as if they are in a desperation to get somewhere. SLOW DOWN!!!!! USE YOUR BLINKERS!!!! WATCH FOR CYCLISTS ASSHOLES!!!!!! if you see cyclists not in their lanes but in the regular car lanes going slow and making you go around them, you know why, cuz people dont pay any attention to the bike lanes, and it's more dangerous to ride in them than not. it's no wonder aaron bought a loud ass horn for his bike. man people who drive in this city suck sometimes.

Yeah.. wow. Glad you're OK... I've seen SO MANY examples of this on the road. Maybe because I have friends that are cyclists I am extra careful when turning and opening car doors? Examples like yours are exactly why I'm chicken to ride downtown or on busy streets. Being in a vehicle or on a motorcycle is scary enough in San Francisco.

oh man... If you dont enjoy bikes vs. drivers, then I definately will not reccomend skateboarding to and from work every day. At least you guys have a bike lane! I fully agree with this post, however. People suck at driving here! I ALWAYS give the right-of-way to cars, and I still almost get killed once a week. (NO jOKE) Godspeed to my other than auto companions out there!

Glad you two are safe. I know how crappy that is. I've been hit by a car while on my bike before. A loud horn for your bike sounds like a good idea. (((Hugs)))

I detest most drivers in SF you have to yeal and shout to be noticed becaus ea lot of them are too bussy talking on there cellphones or smokeing rocks to care. I am an agrossive cycleist in the city and everybody else who is a cycleist who dose not like to hit needs to be.
Ill see you at critical mass than?
