You’re picking and choosing assumptions that suit your preference.
That’s pretty rich considering you’re assuming OP (on a bike) specifically mentioned two designated bike lanes, decided to ride in the road instead, then told all of us so we would know he’s a jerk.
If they were riding in the road they wouldn’t have mentioned the bike lanes at all so they looked like the “good guy”
“So I was stomping on some kittens right, then this guy cut in line at Walmart right in front of me! What a jerk”
Why would someone include the part of the story that made them the bad guy?
You are the one assuming whatever fits you’re narrative the best. You must drive a BMW and are here to troll bike riders.
Op had an option to not be in danger then. They were in the car lane to feel the drama.
That’s you making a wild leap to blame the bike.
I’m using what’s called occums razor. Op mentioned the bike lanes. Op didn’t say anything about being in the main road.
It’s more reasonable to assume they were using the bike lanes they mentioned. It’s unreasonable to assume they were in the road and only mentioned the bike lanes to us in order to make themselves look bad. That doesn’t make sense.
Op said they were on a bike. Op said there were two designated bike lanes. Ok said car nearly hit them.
One of two things must be true.
Car entered the bike lane. A thing that happens often.
Op was riding in the traffic lane instead of the two designated bike lanes, then posted about it, and specifically mentioned the two bike lanes they were not using for no reason other than to make themself look bad. A thing that doesn’t happen often.
You see how short one explanation is compared to the other? Yeah the short explanation is probably what happened. It’s the most likely explanation.
It does happen often. Many Cyclists often do not obey road rules. ‘Rules are for thee and not for me.’ And it’s hilarious you think anyone that entitled has any self observation enough to think they would look bad while doing so. Riding a bike should absolutely require a license to be out on the road.
And BMW drivers are well known for their courtesy on the road? Oh right even car drivers know people who drive bmws think they are special and do whatever they want.
I’ve seen bmws get plowed by distracted drivers. But that’s the thing: Cars aren’t empty machines. They are operated by humans. As are cyclists, cyclists who should also practice the rules of the road.
As a fellow cyclist myself , I am disappointed by your intellect on this one.
As you’re justification why OP must’ve been in the road instead of the bike lanes they specifically mentioned. It’s nonsense.
You have no argument, you just don’t like people riding bikes because you once saw a guy not following rules on a bike. Give me a break. Why are you here if you only want to defend cars even when the evidence clearly shows the car was at fault? Why are you here if you want to exclusively blame cyclist for every bad thing that a driver does?

And where did they say the car drive in the bike lane? They didn’t. This is your narrative.

Go home troll.

You’re trolling.
Basically you’re saying “sometimes cyclist don’t follow traffic rules”
As you’re justification why OP must’ve been in the road instead of the bike lanes they specifically mentioned. It’s nonsense.

You’re trolling. Go home.
Go learn how to stop at a stop sign
I don’t own a bike. I walk and drive.
I see more cars refuse to stop at stop sighns than bikes, so Go learn to stop at stop sighn?
