It's hard enough to see some dude in dark clothes on a flat black bike against a cluttered urban backdrop and there's fuck-all a driver can do when the cyclist is weaving around through traffic and only pops into the bike lane a split second before the car's door opens, or when the cyclist comes flying at full speed through a red light around a blind right turn or whatever.
I almost killed some fucktard the other night when he blew through a stop sign while I was already in the middle of the intersection, and then watched him blow past me against oncoming traffic on a narrow road with blind crests and corners and fly through two more stop signs and a red light, and it's not like this shit is rare, I see similar things on a daily basis.
