Dear @CapitalBikeCa As a driver, I heed importance to allow 1metre when I pass a cyclist. If there isn't space, I gladly slow down behind them. What do you say to the cyclist on s.#VancouverSt just before 5:30pm who sped by on the right.... 1/2...

2 ...squeezing himself with very little space between me and parked cars on his right; as I had to slow for speed bump? It's clearly marked single file shared use lane. Also 30k/zone which he was in excess of?
This is why some drivers are angry at some a*hole cyclists, imo.

3/ (sorry... need to extend this thread.) If perchance, one of the parked cars, didn't see him coming as he was not only riding in wrong place (he should have been behind me) but speeding - opened their door and he ran into it - guess who would be blamed?

4/The city of #YYJ, is doing so much so build a safer infrastructure for cyclists... which will all be for naught... if cyclists put themselves purposefully in harms way.

5/ Also consider... if an accident had occurred as result- it would not only be the cyclist harmed; it would be a horrific experience for any driver involved; who didn't cause it: but would be naturally traumatized at any injury to cyclist.

6/ By tagging you @CapitalBikeCa , I'm hoping:
a. that cyclist will id themselves and take responsibility for their dangerous road behaviour (no license means I can neither id nor report them)

7/
b. that you as an organization who advocates for safety for cyclists; will denounce this behaviour; and devote some of your efforts to educating the cycling community about taking responsibility.
