Drive a car? Ride a bike? Watch this

This is a very important video. It shows clearly, but without hyperbole or gory special effects, exactly how scary and downright dangerous the “door zone” is.


[via chainguard]

I will leave this video to speak for itself, but for a few points:

  • Clearly, many bike lanes are woefully inadequate, if not outright dangerous, and merely force cyclists into the door zone. Case-in-point, Elizabeth Street, Melbourne:

  • It’s important to note that cyclists who sit right on the outside edge of the bike lane are merely trying to limit their exposure to being doored—they are not trying to antagonise motorists.

  • What to do if you get doored—although prevention is better, it’s seems timely to repeat this link, from the previous speedlink collection.
