Lucky I am so skinny

10 May, 2023 - 3 years ago - on Coxs Road

Regaular cycle commute to work, through an area with shops and schools, at drop off time. Limit is 40km/hr in the school zone, and I was doing about 30km/hr. Ahead there are pedestrian crossings for the schools, and lights that are typically red, so little benefit for a MGIF

Bike lane stopped and I was moving into main transit lane, when ...
- Driver of white parked car came adround and opened the drivers door without looking, I called out to no effect, and steered to avoid the door, when
- Brown car appeard to my right, squeezing the space available. I reached out and tapped the car, to let them know I was there, but they continued

I was lucky to squeeze through the gap - probably 50mm each side.

At the lights when CNC85W stopped, she was oblivious, asking "what's your problem"

Local police were VERY interested, have the report and video, and are investigating!.
