Almost a car dooring
10 Aug, 2022 - 4 years ago - on East West Link (Stage 1) Due to someone on their phone as they exit their vehicle I was almost doored. The worst thing is there were about 5 other cyclists behind me which probably would have caused a pile up and not to mention the traffic that was also crossing the intersection at the same time. I turned around and he said he was sorry and that he'd "buy me a beer next time". Next time? I sincerely hope he learnt his lesson so there should never be a next time.
