Bikes can't fly
I don't have a webcam on my handlebars like Josh but today while happily minding my own business cycling into work, I experienced something very much like what he has described.
A bus drove past me on my bike, pulled up to the bus stop cutting me off so I had no option but to pull up quickly onto the footpath. That was bad enough but wait there's more!
As I was wobblingly trying to right myself and get back on to the road, he OPENED THE DOOR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and I only narrowly missed being knocked out.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
He then shouted at me for being on the footpath!
I wonder if the Christchurch City Council needs to do some serious training for their drivers or even rethink their recruitment process. It might help if they employ drivers who understand how a bike works.
