Just saw some dude do a maneuver I can only think of as attempted suicide. There were 2 taxis in the left lane, spaced under a car's length apart. Dude on bike tries to pass them on the right, but there's a car parked in the right lane. So he swerves in between the two taxis. Cue the taxi in the back slamming on his brakes. Like holy poo poo, dude. It's a city street, 40km/h speed posted, and taxis here are generally driven badly as it is.

You'd be surprised how many people can't or won't do that. I've posed before on how one intersection here goes from the easiest turn in your life to potential death race 2000 because everyone wants to turn into the middle loving lane.

Word to the wise: don't go anywhere near the Forks Of The Credit during leaf-peeping season, you will have no fun and just end up behind a long line of people driving their SUVs at 10 under looking at leaves and wondering why the road is so windy. Then when you pass all the fun parts going too slow, you'll spend 10 minutes trying to get onto Highway 10 because none of them can accelerate their suburban tanks fast enough to make it into the rare gaps in the traffic. Ugh. Cagers ruin everything around me.

I'd get a similar question at work when I'd be setting down my helmet, "Hey, did you ride in today?" My usual response was, "No, I just live in a really bad neighborhood." Al Jaffe corrupted my youth lol
