I gotta say that idiot is a good rider riding with no hands on slick roads, and is usually moving at a good clip. The dude opening the door into him is hilarious and he doesn't even seem phased, any more than usual anyway.

It’s pretty funny. The POV camera does always inspire me to want to get out on my bike and ride.

GSA-2
Relatively harmless as crazy goes. At least he's not going around shooting people on the subway.

I’ll bet a few of his contacts have prompted a good amount of resentment towards cyclists in general. A few might even have concocted ways to get even while remaining anonymous.
As a cyclist, and roadie at least half the time, I don’t want that jackass representing me, and believe his contacts and popularity just increases my risk.

Maybe we could pro-actively neutralize him with a water bottle with a few hundred drops of liquid LSD?
One of us would have to infiltrate his gang, and gain his trust.
Sounds like an honorable secret mission.
Maybe he could be recruited for a suicide mission in Ukraine? He clearly doesn’t know fear.Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

Out on my normal ride on Saturday and going down a main road and suddenly I go down. I'm sitting on my ass and trying to figure out WTF happened and realize I've been t-boned by an SUV that came from a side street on the other side of the road and hit me from the side. The lady gets out and starts freaking out all upset and says she doesn't know how she didn't see me.
I took a fall and broke my hip and had THR a couple of years back so I'm thinking the worst but I take a minute and then realize that aside from a small boo boo on my elbow I don't feel any pain. I check my limbs and nothing is broken. A teenager who was coming down the street saw it happen and calls 911. I get up and I'm walking around like nothing happened when the cops and an ambulance arrive a few minutes later and I tell them i'm fine and refuse medical attention. I also didn't want to file a police report and the cop said I could file one later if I wanted.
Not very smart but I think I was so happy i wasn't hurt.
Plastic from her bumper and her license plate are lying in the road and my bike is somewhat mangled, but not real bad. The husband of the driver comes and is also distraught and probably thinking a lawsuit is coming, but I am just grateful. We load the bike in his truck and he takes me home and exchange contact info.
Sunday morning my hip was a little stiff so I called for a doctor appointment Monday and couldn't get one until Friday so I'll see how i feel then. I want to go back and find that kid who saw it and ask him how it happened. I think i was past the middle of the bumper and she spun me around and down. If I was a foot or two slower she probably would have hit me forward and then ran me over because she didn't stop until ~ 10 feet after contact.
Of course the guy will pay any deductibles and bike replacement but so happy I didn't get seriously hurt.

( ya gotta ) have the report for insurance --
no report, no insurance coverage -
Beware...
Glad - And lucky - you are not seriously injured ( another hip. tib./fib. femur. back. neck. head. any combination - including Life )
Glad you are not seriously injured
( the kid would ( should ) be in the police report.
You can probably reconstruct it from the injury to your bike. . . )
so done with that risk.
trail ridin' for me... old guy. skiJ

I was cruising about 25 mph and moved to the right side bike lane as someone came up going a lot faster... approaching an intersection.... They flew by me then hard on the brakes to turn right... right in front of me.. Almost went down stopping to avoid hitting them broadside as they cut me off to turn right..
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!
