Not sure if there is a thread for all close calls... so to kick it off here is my first one of the season
I dropped my Sister off at Queen and Dufferin to pick up her bicycle. I turn around and was heading east on queen. Just before Gwynne Avenue a guy heading the opposite direction signals to turn in at the last second and cuts me off. I slam on my front breaks feel my body move forward and next thing I know I stall and the guy takes off. I managed to stop before contact. I thought about chasing him down, but then realized that riding angry and shaken up isnt a good recipe. I pull onto the sidewalk and just waited to calm down. People came to make sure I was ok, apparently I managed a stoppie with my rear wheel 2 feet of the ground and managed to stabilize myself on the landing.
It took about 10 mins to actually get my heart to slow down. To the **** that cut me off.. go **** yourself you piece of ****. Would have appreciated an apology. COWARD.
