A female cyclist was knocked from her bike on Collins Street in Melbourne yesterday when a man opened the passenger-side door of a taxi.
The woman captured the incident, and the follow-up conversation she had with the man who stepped out of the taxi, on camera.
Would never happen in Dublin.
UPDATE: Man comes forward to police over CBD car-dooring (The Age)
Police urged to charge passenger after cyclist car-doored in CBD (The Age)
Thanks Mark Geary
Come back.
Jervis Street Luas last night

“I took this photo on my iPhone with the HDR setting on, just saw the sunset and stepped out onto the Luas track because I thought it looked nice, took the photo and turned around to realise I had stepped out in front of a cyclist, just like all them thicks I berate when I’m cycling.”
“So if you were tearing along by the Jervis Luas stop at around 6.20pm yesterday, I was that idiot and I hope this picture was worth my nearly killing us both.”
Worth it?
YOU decide.
The RearViz is a wide angle convex moirror designed (in two sizes) to be worn on a cyclist’s wrist (€17) or forearm (€28).
The unit also contains a medical ID tag, for those who favour only the ‘manoeuvre’ part of ‘mirror, signal, manoeuvre’.
Release date unknown as the product page is still under construction.
Brian Gallagher tweetz:
“Got pwned by a bus this morning (in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin), bike may be beyond repair. This is where me and my bike ended up.”
Dublin 2 minutes ago.
Meet PRIMER – V2. He balances. He steers. He cycles.
And naturally, when he’s finished, he kills all humans.

One cycling into oncoming traffic.
The other jaywalking.
A nexus point in the very fabric of the Universe.
