“2 designated bike lanes”
Op had an option to not be in danger then. They were in the car lane to feel the drama.
So you're assuming the bike was in a car lane instead of a car trying to drive in the designated bike lane?
Considering the car was going 70 in a thirty it doesn't sound like he obeyed the rules of the road.
You're picking and choosing assumptions that suit your preference.
Nor did the cyclist. Two wrongs don't make you right.
I love the drama of getting hit by cars on the way to pick up my kid
So you admit you don’t use the designated bike lanes
