Clear video of a car passenger intentionally dooring cyclists as they try to ride around a car parked in an unprotected bike lane. Pretty much sums up what it's like to ride a bike in American cities.

This was before the #EastBayBikeParty ride in #Oakland last night, during which some other cyclists were harassed or clipped by drivers. #BikeOAK #BikeTooter (Edited to correct timing of incident.)

@colburn That's awful. Reported?

@ataafe Yes, I wasn't there myself, but I understand that it was reported.

@colburn I'm sure nothing will come of it, but at least it would be on record

@colburn jerks!

@colburn It's definitely not during EBBP. EBBP is meet 7:30, roll 8:00. If this was shot yesterday it's at least two hours earlier.

@oaklandbikelab Good point. I'll edit the post to correct. Apparently there were a couple bad incidents during the EBBP ride as well.

@colburn wasn’t this the same ride during which an SUV driver hit bikers?
Show threadDavid ColburnFeb 12, 2023
@danfulop Yes, there were apparently several incidents that evening, some of which were worse than the one caught in this video.
