What sort of hazards do you encounter on your rides, and how do you deal with them?

Main one here is drunk/shit drivers who can't keep the road so I avoid using any road that doesn't let me put some distance between me and the lane.

On the bikepath here, its retards coming out of dirt trails or from the side and blocking almost entire path with their bike perpendicularly. Have to regularly emergency brake. Bikepaths are not all that much better than roads because of these retards.

Just bad surface conditions I guess. Unexpected potholes, bumps, ruts, curbs, stuff like that. Just gotta be attentive and keep an eye on the surface ahead of you. Not riding on thumb width tires also helps.

- dogs on leashes stretched across the path
- idiots walking shoulder to shoulder blocking the entire mup with two people
- mexicans with triple wide strollers
- assorted minority families out for a walk with a half dozen feral children running around unpredictably
- children on bikes with no awareness of their surroundings

Only trouble I really ever have with cars is the rare idiot who randomly decides they're terrified of all speeds over 15mph.

1. Car drivers driving too fast in roundabouts and not respecting yield signs.

2. Other cyclists and e-scooter riders not knowing on which side of the path you're supposed to rid on, and cutting the apex of of blind left turns.

3. Pedestrians not having control over their dogs or children. (Although sometimes i have seen cases of children having more traffic sense than their parents.)

Was anyone ever bitten by a stray or guard dog?
It's my main concern when I go around roads that get close to farmers private property.

I got bitten twice, both on foot. I wager getting jumped while on a bike would be a problem.
They're easy enough to handle when it's just one dog, but a pack will fuck you up. We have people killed by stray packs every now and then.

Riding around on a 29 fs basically gets rid of the car and pedestrian problem by being able to ride on grass off the road or path. You can also bunny hop curbs and blast over pretty much everything. Dogs still suck I might try a mini air horn.

In my city there is a bottle deposit scheme. It’s common people leave their empty beer bottles on the street knowing that someone will pick them up to cash them in. It has the unfortunate effect of there being a ton of broken glass everywhere from the bottles that accidentally get knocked or kicked over. I used to get multiple punctures per month before I switched to ridiculously resistant tyres.

Also worth mentioning that if you’re ever being chased by a dog shift into a lower gear and spin like crazy. Their peanut brains have a harder time placing a target.

I've had groups of youths (of the urban kind) come at me when stopped at lights at night. I haven't been shot at but once a guy pulled a knife and started shouting that I was in the wrong neighborhood (I'm white), so I told him that I concur, and I hauled ass out of there. I don't stop at night anymore, just run all the lights. Such is life in h town

the delivery faggots are getting to be more dangerous than drivers. last week, i had one blast between me and the curb with probably a single inch to spare. he then bounced over a sunken storm drain, shoulder clipped a sign post and he hurtled full speed, head first into a thicc staffolding pylon. it rang like a bell. desu hope he ded.

there are haphazard "outdoor dining sheds" all up and down 1st and 2nd avenue. they are placed in parking spots, and the bike lane runs between the sheds and the sidewalk. they couldn't have made it more retarded.

we have this on telegraph street in oakland. you get servers carrying dishes crossing the bike lane, lmao. i just ride in the street. sucks for the cars on that street cuase they thinned down the streets and took otu right turns on red and combine that with the amount of pedestrians in the area. cars just get stuck there.

>light is red
>first car wants to go forward,
>2nd car wants to make right on red
>sidewalk bulb out is obstructing right on red
>light turns green
>first car goes.
>2nd car cant turn right becuase a couple pedestrians are crossing adjacent crosswalk.
>cars behind 2nd car cant go forward.
>light is already turning yellow by the time the adjacent sidewalk is clear enough for the right turn.
>all the cars (and bus) are stuck waiting a whole light cycle to continue moving forwards

Cars cars cars
Drivers wont look left nor right when leaving their property or coming from a small road turning to the Main road
Drivers parking basically anywhere blocking cyclists, pedestrians and often other cars
So you have to Switch to the road where other drivers will overtake way too close, exceeding the speed Limit, preferably while another car is driving towards them or close to a turn where they cant see incoming traffick
Drivers in roundabouts also not looking for cyclists
Drivers that want to turn right ignoring pedastrians and cyclists
Parking cars opening doors without giving a slight fuck
