Avoid a bicycle ?? As far as I am concerned, bicycles are a hazard on the road. I can't believe the guts (or is it lack of grey matter) these people have to ride these things on the same roads as cars, trucks, buses, tractor-trailers etc. I am amazed more cyclists aren't injured or killed.
I had my experience with a bike. A guy on a bicycle was weaving in and out of heavy traffic, at speeds of about 20-30 km/h. He came across the front of my car from the extreme right, and didn't even look at me, just expected me to get out of his way. Well, I didn't see him soon enough, and once I did, I was not about to mash the brakes and most likely cause a rear ender or worse, so he "made contact" with the front fender of my car. and proceeded to accumulate the appropriate amount of "road rash" for his actions. I pulled up alongside him (still on his butt on the pavement) and asked if he would like me to get out and "help" him back onto his bike. He declined my offer.

Sorry aobut the long windedness. Don't like bicycles on the streets.

I feel bad for the guy who wrecked the C36 if it was no fault of his own.
