The Chainlink

Just happened on this article:

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/cyclist-gets-love-tap-from-semi-...

If I understand correctly, this is the same sort of scenario which claimed the lives of a couple cyclists in Chicago. They either pulled up alongside trucks in right-turn-only lanes, or were already there and weren't recognized as vehicles which were going to proceed straight ahead.

I don't want to get into a blame-the-victim discussion, but it seems short-sighted to pull up alongside a car or truck in a right- or left-turn only lane, even if you plan to turn.

I'm very interested to read this study, especially because I specifically logged on to Chainlink tonight to vent about the distinct gender lines in my fellow commuters who obey traffic signals down Lincoln (and it's mostly women waiting with me at the reds).

HoooooLeeeeey Fuck also.

I'd agree that it's safest to be assertive.  I'm too happy to be aggressive, though ☺

This happened to me the other day. No signal else I wouldn't have been in that situation.
