Readers share stories of recent close calls involving cars and bikes
Bicyclists travel on Diablo Road between Mt. Diablo Scenic Boulevard and Green Valley Road in Danville, Calif., near the proposed Magee Ranch housing development, in 2015. I truly appreciate that you have written about the critical issue of automobiles and bicycles respectfully sharing city streets. Recent harrowing experiences warrant raising this issue yet again. I am a 70-year-old retired social worker and avid cyclist. I ride often near my Berryessa home.
Twice one recent week while riding eastbound on Borregas Avenue in Sunnyvale, I encountered cars emerging from commercial parking lots. In both instances, they entered the street directly in my path. Collisions and, likely, significant bodily injuries for me were avoided solely because I ride assuming that drivers are not paying attention to me. In each instance, had I not braked, I would have collided with these vehicles. Please remind your readers to pay attention.
