[@Tilemason1]

I've been road riding for 57 years and had many close calls and was hit and run from behind October 23 2017 and left in a ditch, no witnesses no help when I came to I was able to stand 🙏 but had tremendous pain in my back. I had a little day pack on with a big down puffer jacket in it. This saved my life, when I stood up broken mirror fell out of the pack. Fortunately is somehow didn't kill me or destroy my historic bike. Martijn Maaskant's 2008 Felt F1 Roubaix that he piloted to 4th in 2008 PRB. I got home and went to the Dr and had 7 fracture vertebrae in my lumbar with some nerve impingement of the right leg. Now I have 6 rods and 10 screws in my spine. I've switched to most gravel riding now still able to ride 160mi a week at 62 🙏💪🏁

[@Stevenafoe]

That’s horrible. Notice the jv’s ride with garmin radars, probably the ones with camera. They won’t protect you from those idiots, but at least you have footage of the car hitting you. I have one of those since there were a few hit & runs in my area. The radar shows cars approaching from behind and relative speed, thus you have a little bit room to act if necessary (car approaching, look over shoulder); but that’s it. Jv riders couldn’t do anything if the merc driver tried to hit them; he/she was soooo close. I don’t think they’ll do this when realized they are filmed…

Sorry to hear about that, sitting here with a fractured arm recovering from a far more minor hit than yours. Out of interest was that in the States or Europe? In the UK here the roads are generally very busy but a close pass law was introduced recently which has improved things a bit.

Me too, after some close passes by young guys, maybe DUI or distracted, on very quiet roads where they'd only have to slow down for a few seconds to be able to pass safely. The bike paths near me are flat. But recently an old railroad bridge over the Ottawa River has been opened for cyclists and walkers, linking Ottawa and Gatineau. That's going to give me easy access to Gatineau Park, a popular cycling destination, and its rolling hills. I can't wait until it's warmed up enough to tempt me off the indoor bike.

Location: Tignes (France) *7:40** car:* Excessive speed when overtaking a pedestrian or cyclist (article R413-17 of the highway code). Overtaking a cyclist at less than 1.50 m outside built-up areas (article R414-4 of the highway code). *Cyclists :* Cyclists can ride in groups if the road is wide enough to allow it. However, only two bikes can ride side by side. What's more, when traffic is heavy, cyclists must ride in single file to limit the risk of collision.

[@vince207]

i'm a cyclist too and i'd hate being overtaken like this, but the mercedes driver seems surprised to see traffic on the front after the two other car overtaking before him, you can see he was on the left lane at first but quickly went back to the right lane squeezing in the cyclists because he felt there was not enough margin to safely brake and stay behing the jumbo group. And i believe the horn is not for the bikes but for the driver coming in front of him. clearly that's a misjudgement of the situation, but unfortunately it happens. also to be noted this is a local ( 74 is haute savoie ) and they tend to drive quite fast on mountain roads and horn at everyone slower :D

[@lucianoserafino5872]

5.1 The Ontario Highway Traffic Act does not explicitly forbid side by side cycling. However, two sections of the Act could reasonably be interpreted as forbidding the practice (but not entirely). 5.2 Section 148(2) & 148(6) both require vehicles to "turn out to the right to allow the vehicle to pass" when being passed by faster moving vehicles. This can be interpreted as forbidding two abreast cycling when a cyclist is being passed by another vehicle. This interpretation is valid, but only for specific situations. Its only common curtesy to let the faster moving vehicles through, to prevent certain individuals from getting triggered and causing harm. IF we took a road home from work and on almost on a daily basis get slowed down by cyclists not singling up for faster traffic some of us would loose it and that's not a battle i want to get into.

I recently relocated to Phoenix area from eastern PA and am amazed at the aggressive driving here. People are so nice here until they get behind a wheel and their Mr. Hyde takes over. It’s like their brains have been relocated to the ball of their foot-they have to satisfy it by pressing down-regardless of the outcome. I see people pull into the right lane because there’s some open space right before a line of traffic trying to merge in from an on-ramp.

Well, when a lady managed to drive into my mountain bike, pushing me into the bushes, my bike got its revenge big time. It wedged itself into the bushes, the car snaped off a piece of the bullhorn extensions, creating a razor-sharp edge. The edge caught the side of the car and slid it open from the a-pilor to the trunk. While I was laying in the bushes, mad as hell but in one piece. My problem, a new handle bar, her problem a new car, yeps my bike totalled a car and lived to ride another day.

This happened to me only 5 hours ago here in Germany (near Freiburg, Ehrenstetten to Gütighofen).

In the U.K. riding in pairs is recommended, it creates a shorter pass for vehicles behind. Those saying you should ride single file in country X are saying its ok for cars/lorries to squeeze between oncoming traffic and the handlebar of the cyclist, rather than wait until they can move out and pass at 1.5m.

[@tadlak2610]

I understand your point of view, yet only "half agree" with it. As you mentioned, in France (which is the country in which this video was recorded) there is a specific rule that states : cyclists can travel in pair as long as no one is following them, BUT as soon as a faster vehicle is approaching, they have to go back to a single file formation in order to facilitate the overtake. Still, the overtaking vehicle has to leave a 1.5m gap, which the idiot driver in this video didn't do. My point being : drivers might get irritated by cyclists not following the rules of the highway code, as it sends the message that cyclists do not care about other road users, only themselves. That OBVIOUSLY does not justify dangerous overtakes though.

[@paulflory3532]

@@bikeman123 If you install the free MyBikeRadar Traffic data field from GarminIQ, the Garmin RTL515 can display on your Garmin Edge the actual speed of the approaching car. And it also records that speed every second or so, about 10-15 readings per pass, into your ride file. Post-ride it generates a table of showing distance behind you, the car's speed, and your speed. If they're spending by a lot, say 50mph in a 25mph zone, and it's a company vehicle, I sometimes email this to the company: "did you know your driver does this?" If you have video that can be sent too.

They need to calm down and realize the road is not theirs to dominate.

I moved from California to Italy 2 1/2 years ago and I’ve been absolutely amazed at the ignorance on the road. It’s the most dangerous environment I’ve ever ridden my bike in. Italians either love or hate cyclists… They love watching them on TV but don’t get in front of them when they’re driving. Also I think it’s important to point out that when you ride two and three abreast and you’re slowing down the flow of traffic it’s inconsiderate for cyclists and that does foster some of the rage for the people behind the wheel. I occasionally ride in a group in the countryside here in Abruzzo and some of the guys in my group ride two and three abreast and it’s not acceptable.

[@rolandfletcher4044]

While it might seem like riding 2 abreast is inconsiderate and slows traffic down, it's much safer for cyclists as it prevents cars from trying to squeeze by the group without changing lanes. It also makes the pass manoeuvre much quicker. Imagine how long it would take to pass a single file line of 10 cyclists, vs a 2x5 group of cyclists. Much safer and quicker for everyone involved.

It’s a matter of opinion.

I always have a rock in my pocket so when they cut me of they get it thru their rear window.

@ChannelGriffin for cycling videos…

Been hit by cars twice…but have almost been hit a bunch of times by people who were purposely trying to make a point…when almost always I was not a car lane and few feet away from the white line…there are unfortunately many drivers who just don’t like cyclists…I’m sure there is a dna test

[@paulschmidtke425]

Australia here , I also have been hit twice , once I had a nappy thrown at me , another time a full can of Coca-Cola , it was a girl that threw the nappy,, only in Australia bogan capital of the world 😢

[@albertosedran281]

Yea Australians are ugly on the road indeed, I also experienced that for a year. And some truck drivers are completely nuts, even when dealing with cars. Too dangerous to ride on the road. But unfortunately, as you can see, it s pretty much like that everywhere with some rare exceptions Belgium (north at least) is incredible. Every time I am there I am totally stunned by the tolerance and respect you get as a cyclist from most ppl (it s crazy, sometimes it seems like they don’t wanna overtake you)

[@gabem8119]

Can you do a video about how the road isn't for runners.

[@user-mw6uu6gs1t]

In Japan,it is insane for bicycles to ride in two rows on public roads. I think most drivers would be angry.

[@artem4ik19]

Different countries - different rules. Stay safe on the road

[@thomasvassard8500]

I don’t understand, as a driver I find it easier to pass when there are 2x2 bikes in front than a line of 4 riders 🤷 why getting angry ?

[@Raumance]

@@thomasvassard8500 You find it easier to pass bikes blocking the entire road than on the side of the road? Come on now be realistic.

[@-op9fm]

I've been stopped by the police in France for riding 2 abreast, so I assume that it is prohibited there. I didn't check properly afterwards. There's still no justification for close passes though.

[@artem4ik19]

@@-op9fm Well, my experience in Grenoble France - police just don't care about cyclists at all

Most cycle riders don't ride in the middle of the road in the UK, unlike these crazy bastards. I ride DH. Less cars.

it is the duty of driving schools to make drivers aware that cyclists are part of the traffic and are unprotected and vulnerable. Today everyone interprets the laws in their own way and thinks they are smart

[@ericpensyl5699]

The world has become more dangerous for road cyclist, over the last two years. It's so much safer off road. The cycling club that I was once a member of. Have of late lost too many club member. To being hit and killed by driver.

[@alastaircummins1980]

Typical SUV driver! I hate the things!

[@ohnezuckerohnefett]

Oh come on, as a Pro, you get that closely passed by team cars 1000 times in a race day.

[@Gnolde]

to be fair...what they are doing here in their bikes is also such a bad behaviour on an open road...not caring for the rules of traffic in some scenes, no proper distance to the cars in front of them or the oncoming traffic... As great as such pictures are....this is not a secludes raceway, this is a real road with real people driving there and you are the wqeakest link in that case so ride carefull and not wreckless...

[@Karollenart]

Drivers are angry when you ride in pairs. I always avoid that. And actually, in my country riding in pairs on majority of roads is against the law.

[@greghart6310]

And yet in other countries riding like that is encouraged - it forces cars to treat you with same regard as other vehicles. If you hug the side of the road they all want to squeeze past, placing you in even greater danger. Drivers just need to slow the f-k down!! A few seconds out of your day means NOTHING compared to endangering the lives of others.

[@Karollenart]

Yeah. It seems riding in pairs should be safer. But in Poland drivers are angry when you do that, and they drive even closer to you, and it becomes even more dangerous... That's why I always look for traffic-free routes... This is the only hope. @@greghart6310

[@sannyassi73]

You got honked at- OH NO! So crazy.... Some of your Biker Kin like to block vehicles in and harass them. Happened to me- did nothing to them, just driving normal. They tried to stop me but luckily I was able to get around them without having to do anything drastic to keep myself safe.
