This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town.  Be a part of history and make a post!

Definitely had my share of being buzzed but I also had an experience a week ago where a driver opened the door to let a passenger off INTO THE BIKE LANE right in front of me and I slammed on my brakes to avoid plowing into the passenger. It was at a stoplight and there was not a bus stop there. My adrenaline was pumping so fast that I just sped off without getting the bus number. But I did email Cap Metro the time and location of the incident. Never heard a word back from them. They dodged a bullet on that one as I would most certainly have injured both the passenger and myself.
