Indeed I've been doored and have had numerous close calls. What got me the first time was a false sense of security from the bike lane painted right alongside street-side parking spaces. With roads that narrow, people may actually be safer without bike lanes, so that they could occupy the entire traffic lane instead.
- avitzurel 8y agoTHE most dangerous places are driveways, exits, acceleration lanes. This is where you should assume the person in the car next to you is actively trying to kill you. When I ride (and it doesn't happen a lot) in a street that has a row of parked cars, I take the full lane and I will never ever put myself in the range or a door. I know too many people that have been doored and crashed really hard. People reversing (to me) basically go "Here I go, I don't care who's behind me".
