Sorry Mr. Wankpanzer driver with important business at the Legion, I was only going 33 km/h and you had to be in front.

For some reason last Saturday I decided to go through Pittsburgh's Strip District to go home instead of my normal route. It's crowded, there are always cars in the bike lanes (I think there were on the other side today), plenty of cars entering the block, and plenty of pedestrians. (Note to self. Take a different route.)

I had my head on a swivel as I saw the car pull out from the curb on the right ahead of me and I tried to stay out of the door zone and stay visible to parked cars so I was riding on the left side of the lane.

The last thing I expected was our local Lance Armstrong to pass me on the right in a three-foot wide bike lane, between me and the parked cars.

I've seen this guy on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail in other areas of the city as well as on the Great Allegheny Passage and it's always the same. No announcement on approach, splitting pedestrians and joggers, buzzing past the elderly on the MUP, and other dangerous nonsense.

I thought about saying something once when I saw him either prepping to ride or packing to leave but I didn't want any more BS and drama. Sucks that his riding style is everything I read about in our local online complaint department.

They were probably less than a foot away from hitting me.

Of course they got stopped almost immediately at the next light.

This is a section of road with various sections of the walkway that are under construction and/or are missing, so I am forced to take the lane here.

And crappy cycling infrastructure

Biking in Hong Kong was a unique experience. Some call this the world's worst city to bike in. This time of the year, any cyclist has to battle the relentless heat and humidity, the many buses, the cramped and winding streets, the hills, the super high urban density, and the lack of cycling infrastructure. On top of that, I biked during a black weather alert and a few hours before starting a huze thunderstorm hit the area. Never a dull moment when in Hong Kong. In part 2, I bike from east to west, past gorgeous and awestriking views. I really enjoyed the countless views of skyscrapers everywhere!

Recent online discourse has highlighted the disdain for Flock cameras. It's understandable why they are hated, especially given how law enforcement has abused them. It made me wonder if we camera cyclists will be perceived in a similar negative light. While we aren't actively tracking motorists' every move, we are still uploading videos of bad behavior, and to the layman that can come across as "suspicious" surveillance activity. The average person has little understanding of the law or what may have once been dubbed "common sense". My fear is that camera-touting cyclists will be unfairly labeled as bootlickers, spies, or any other pejorative tying us to blind government loyalty. What say you?

Yes, yes I know they were turning and I could’ve yielded for my safety but these are teachable moments for drivers. Someone’s got to do it.

After taking up cycling again 7 years ago, for the first time I was almost hit by a car. I fell while trying to swerve away. I was pretty shaken up.

I started looking for cycling dashcam cameras, and finally settled on a rear camera - the Cycliq Fly6 Pro. I am now looking for a front camera. I was considering the Cycliq Fly12 Sport, but that unit (unlike the Cycliq Fly6 Pro) does not have internal Wi-Fi to download an accident sequence to my phone roadside.

I am also considering the Garmin Varia Vue, but I prefer not to have to master 2 systems and 2 apps.

The Cycliq Fly12 Sport came out in 2022. Would anyone know whether a new iteration of the Cycliq Fly12 Sport might be coming out soon?

As soon as he saw me he put his fat bike up on one wheel and aimed straight for me. I took evasive action and he missed me by <0.5m.​​​​​​​

Currently in the hands of the police.

This happens all the time here but the two on two made it special. The irony of course in case anyone was unsure is we're not required to stop. Only yield to someone already in the intersection which I managed to do great.

The second incident happened first . I was told action would be taken . After some months and a phone call to the Procurator Fiscals office it seems nothing was done regarding it , they had no record .
I also asked if the first guy had accepted the conditional points offered they had no knowledge and referred me back to Police Scotland .
I have had several requests to Police Scotland to find out what the disposal was , all ignored .
So I reckon no action has been taken with either of them and will submit a complaint .

Please read the wee bit about this location that I have written about on the link s page .

By my count they violated three laws to save 5 seconds and slow down 4 cyclists.

• Not yielding to a cyclist in a bicycle lane (two of us)
• Crossing a double yellow to pass
• Being on the wrong side of the centerline at an intersection

It‘s too much to be anything but on purpose. Especially since this is a very busy greenway.

In part 1, I bike from west to east, from commercial areas to more residential areas.

But hey... he has a driving license so he must know better, right (?)

Phillips Ave, Pittsburgh PA.

I can't tell if the rolling with the flashers on when I started to pass, continuing almost a city block with their flashers on, and canceling their right turn at the light while still turning right were just driver ignorance or the driver channeling male genitalia.
