Wear a helmet people! It doesn’t look cool, but it does keep your head in one piece.
In California the law is to ride as far to the right as is safe. I interpret that as being 1 car door length away from parked cars. A cop with too much time on their hands may disagree with you, but do it anyway and fight the ticket.
I don’t mean to be blaming the cyclist here, the person in the car should have definitely looked before opening the door. That’s just reckless behavior on a busy city street.
- mburee 5y agoWearing a helmet also causes cars to overtake closer and less considerate. Blaming the cyclist always happens in these cases, even if it's clearly the drivers (or whoever opened the door) fault. I think Sweden just implement a law making it mandatory to open the door with the hand opposite to the door, causing you to turn and hopefully preventing these things. Still, that's manslaughter in my opinion, and I hate people blaming the cyclists, no matter the circumstances, they could have just as well died wearing a helmet.
