it is amazing as to all the potential 'fails' we have to look out for as commuting cyclists. Cars parked taking off, opening car doors, pedestrians, debris, potholes, construction equipment, taxi's, left turns, cars parking, and looking for parking, buses stopping veering left, hardware protruding from vehicles, ... double parked cars sending us off into oncoming traffic ... guys skipping red lights as we move across pedestrian crossings at bike paths .... I have lately had some buses hoot at me from far behind on Albert road, and even Liesbeeck, as warning that they are coming ........ which I actually welcome ... especially in the mornings when they come past at 100km/h ... gives you time to brace yourself.
