In general I have had good experiences as a cyclists with a few out of the norm circumstances. As a motorist I have seen other motorists and cyclists do crazy things.
As a cyclist I have seen motorists and cyclists doing crazy things.
The reality is we are all human, everyone has good days, bad days, rushed / panicked days, different ability levels and we all make mistakes.
However there are some motorists and cyclists in my opinion that are prone to more of the negative interactions, and some have a complete disregard for common sense and any rules/laws in place.
Numerous times biking to work a couple of years ago at around 6 am a cyclist dressed in all black, no lights, proceeded through numerous red lights. Until I would loose the person as they would go straight through the Caroline/Erb St on a red light on the right hand side heading north (basically on the shoulder of a 3 line one way street that was in the opposite direction.
