The best way to avoid getting doored is to not ride so close to parked cars. You should maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from parked cars while riding.
- rmcpherson 8y agoThis is often impossible when bike lanes are adjacent to parked cars.
- u801e 8y agoThose are badly placed bike lanes (and honestly those who make the decision to place door zone bike lanes should be fired and lose their professional engineering license). It's better to not use them at all and just ride in the general traffic lane instead.
