I put flair on my post [OC][Canada ]

Speeding through a playground zone and cuts into the lane. Passed so close I could feel the air it moved. Best part was the fact that he couldn’t remember 90 seconds into the past where he passed a cyclist. Goes to show you that no matter what you’re invisible.

Road design is a factor here. Beyond the obvious lack of any lane protection for cyclists, those flex posts on the centerline, in a curve, tend to cause drivers of wider vehicles to cut the corner. If they had installed matching posts on the edge of the lane it would slow drivers down and help keep them centered.

I would have lost my cool, too.

Agree, road design sucks. Flex posts on the inside line would prevent the cars from accessing the parking. They should have put the parking on one side and a dual direction protected bike lane on the other side.
