I was in the middle of my lane \u2013 the rightmost through lane \u2014 and the bicycle was partway into the lane. There was plenty of room to its right, in an unoccupied right-turn-only lane.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nI approached the next intersection, I was as far left as I could go, with my tires just about touching the dotted white line. The bicyclist had also moved leftward, well into the lane. As I stopped, he threw his bike against my car and started screaming that I had hit him.<br \/>\n[end quote]<br \/>\nSigh, I want to take Berner&#8217;s side because I&#8217;m not a fan of pounding or screaming, but when the cyclist moves left to take the lane (something I do when I feel like my kindness is not returned) Berner misses the message and pulls up beside him again, instead of waiting behind him. But Berner, I guess, doesn&#8217;t get that he is supposed to stop behind the cyclist.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewashcycle.com\/2011\/04\/cyclist-overreacts-or-doesnt.html\">https:\/\/www.thewashcycle.com\/2011\/04\/cyclist-overreacts-or-doesnt.html<\/a>oldId.20110406163738881<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from TheWashCycle by washcycle &#8230; [quote] I was driving along River Road this evening when I rolled to a stop at an intersection where a bicycle was waiting for the light to change.
