Share the road DCK!


To the Friday morning mini-van driver with the license plate starting with DCK: I did everything a road bike commuter must do—I checked behind me, and then gave the turn signal that I was turning my bike out of the Bell St bike lane into the left turning lane at Sackville. I could hear you bearing down on me even when I was fully in the left lane. Without missing a beat you swung into the other lane around me and then cut back in front of me to turn left! I have been a year round bike commuter for seven years now, and no amount of experience biking in traffic make this intersection a comfortable trip each morning. You, Mr. DCK, drove irresponsibly and left someone shaking in their boots and angry for the next hour over the idiocy that you demonstrated simply to get a car length ahead. Have some respect for everyone on the road you jerk! —Shaken and ticked off
