Bike Commuting

I had a Tesla try and take a left turn into me, honking the whole time, as I was headed straight (I had a green + crosswalk sign on) through an intersection. I was inconveniencing them with my existence.

was stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of 10th and Pine. 10th has more traffic than Pine so Pine has stop signs but 10th doesn't.

anyway, i was stopped with two feet in the ground. looked right down tenth, saw a car coming. looked left and saw it was clear from that direction and thought when the car passes, I'll cross.

When i looked back right, i saw the grill of the car with about five feet before impact.

the car turned onto the wrong side of the road where i saw standing

For me, it'd probably be the lady in a van backing her van into traffic without looking, then yelling at me to watch where I'm going when she finally noticed she's about to back into me.

I credit having lights running on my bike (even though it was daytime) for preventing me from getting hit by this idiot.

I had someone who didn't yield while turning right at a 1-way only stop sign in a fairly remote area. I was going essentially walking speed on the sidewalk. He was looking for oncoming traffic and didn't start looking where he was going before initiating his turn. I braked, going slower and slower, waiting for him to look where he was driving, but instead he just casually ran over my front wheel, and I had to bail.

He was moderately apologetic about it, and ended up paying for a new wheel, but the whole thing could have gone a lot worse if I was less cautious.

Edit - Bonus accident that was completely my fault: I was late for school, biking standing up and pumping hard. I thoughtlessly took one hand off my handlebars to check the time, lost balance, the wheel locked out, and I went flying over the handlebars. Thankfully, no injury asides from my ego.

Had been cycling to uni next to the canal. Was about to overtake some lady. Lady decided to strafe to the right. My left had and/or handlebar hit her elbow. The next thing I remember is sky, the one after that - feeling cold. I was fine in the end. Phone died, laptop was incapacitated, but lives on till this day (shoutout to dell!). I had a broozed knee, although I can't recall hitting the gravel. Must've bounced off it into the canal. The bike, luckily, stayed ashore. Needless to say I was late for lectures that early september morning.
