Years ago, when my first kid was about 2, a lady nearly ran us both over while backing up and not looking. She actually hit me, and I had to sit on her SUV’s back bumper while holding my kid in the air by the arm. Should have pursued charges, but I honestly just wanted to get out of there a.s.a.p. She wasn’t even going to stop and check afterwards, but I kicked her back window several times and made her get out. I’d love to see all cars dissappear and be replaced with public transit.

Literally last night I was out running and had to stop dead in my tracks as a driver took a right turn without looking. Always make sure you get eye contact with a driver if you’re not sure they’re paying attention.

I’ve been hit twice!

First time, I was standing with two feet on the ground at a stop sign on the right side of the road where bicycles usually travel. A driver made a left turn and turned into the wrong side of the road where I was standing. I went up onto the hood and was launched when the car stopped. Thankfully I wore a helmet :)

Second time I was riding along in the periphery of the door zone and an open parking space came up on my right. A driver on my left, riding along with me, wanted to park in the space and hit me. This one was minor, I was more upset than anything.

Nearly hit a few more times

Twice in roughly 38 years. Both my fault: riding a bicycle in the dark without light and in front of a car who couldn’t see mee and once as a 12-year old racing into an intersection where the car clearly had the right of way (it hit me and was legally at fault since that is how it works here; my parents made me go to their house afterwards to apologise).

Twice on a bike. Lucky enough to have biked away from one, walked away from the other. Neither driver stuck around.

I’ve been actually hit twice by drivers that didn’t look right before turning into a lane going right. They looked left for cars, but never bothered to look right again before going. Both times were minor and I wasn’t hurt, but I was pissed off as I was on the sidewalk both times it happened.

There’s a reason why I call my bike kamakazi and deaths edge

So many near misses. Been hit once on a roundabout. Thankfully walked away from that one unscathed. The driver paid for the damages to my bike.

Was shoved into the sidewalk by the city bus 20 years ago. Haven’t been hit since cause I’ll stay on the sidewalk. Laws be damned.

One lady hit me and got my bike lodged in her car. She then continued to stare me down and slowly drive forward, dragging me with her…

I got free from her within like 30 seconds but it was so scary

Many many times, lost count, my dad was hit once but nothing serious

Almost constantly if I’m riding on the city streets. Everyone just blind passes through the crosswalk.

Been hit once, lots of near misses. Luckily no major injuries. It sucks though, and has a huge chilling effect on getting people to bike.

Few tight corners on busy main roads, big Lorry comes charging past and nearly knocks you off the street. But mostly the classic douche car shenagins

Some type of near miss at least once a week, mostly in the form of people turning without looking properly.
