Where were you?: SE 20th and Ankeny, Portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-06-06 17:15:00
What happened?: I was traveling eastbound on SE Ankeny, approaching the stop sign at 20th when I heard a loud engine behind me. I saw an older, red pick-up truck going about 10 MPH above the speed limit headed Eastbound on Ankeny. I arrived at the stop sign about 30 seconds or so before this pickup. When I arrived at the stop sign, I dismounted from the bike as the light at 20th and Burnside was green, allowing N/S traffic to flow along 20th. As I sat at the stop sign waiting for an opportunity to cross SE 20th, the truck whipped around me (by going into the left-hand lane), turned in front of me onto southbound SE 20th, and cut off another motor vehicle in the process (causing them to slam on their brakes).

Where were you?: NW 14th at NW Glisan
When did this occur?: 2015-05-29 10:45:00
What happened?: I was traveling in the marked bicycle lane Northbound on NW 14th approaching NW Everett St. A driver came up from behind me (i have two flashing lights going in front and rear) then then proceeded to leave their driving lane to cut me off (the light at Everett was turning yellow) and drove in the bike lane and the unoccupied parking spaces to create their own personal right turn lane to use to turn right onto NW Everett. However, the light then turned red, and there were pedestrians crossing that they also nearly plowed into trying to beat the light, so they had to stop abruptly, while they continued to block the bike lane, the parking space, and part of the crosswalk on 14th ave going west to east on Everett. While that was going on, some OTHER driver then followed that person's lead and drove into the bike lane/parking spaces BEHIND me at the red light, then after the first driver had made their turn on red, beeped at ME, as they now felt that I was their way. As I moved to the (still red) light in the bike lane, that SECOND CAR then also used the empty parking spaces as their own right turn lane and came up tightly to my right. I would like to note that something of this nature is happening to me personally AT LEAST 2-3x weekly at this intersection when the parking spaces there on the right are unoccupied. People are constantly trying to create a right turn lane with the bike and parking lanes where there is none. Its' really dangerous.

What happened?: Riding westbound on Hall, in a marked bike lane, south of Redtail golf course, across the street from Target. Young woman driving eastbound in a large black SUV *saw me* and floored it to make a left turn and cut me off, in a hurry to get into Dutch Bros coffee drive-thru, then had to slam on her brakes in order to avoid hitting a car already in the Dutch Bros parking lot. No need for her to do cut in front of me like that - she could easily have waited 2-3 seconds and then made a safe turn after I passed the Dutch Bros driveway.

Where were you?: NE 57th Ave and NE Sacramento Street
When did this occur?: 2015-04-07 08:00:00
What happened?: In early April, the City made a change to NE 57th Ave at the intersection with NE Sacramento St. There is now a painted median in the middle of NE 57th, with bike lanes and auto lanes angling to the right. While cars driving this route have quickly caught onto the street change, many cars are still being parked along the curbs in what is now the bike lane. This creates a dangerous pinch point for cyclists attempting to use the bike lanes, particularly in heavy traffic during commuting hours. Bikes are forced to take the lane or come to an unplanned stop, often while moving quickly downhill (when headed south). I suspect that part of the issue for parking cars is that they don't realize they are now parking in a bike lane, when 2 weeks earlier the same location was a legal parking spot. On April 8 I requested that the City take action to complete this street modification by adding "No Parking" signs and paint where the bike lane is directly beside the curb, and then by enforcing the no parking areas. The City responded to my email with a "we'll get back to you in 12 weeks" email. They also put up some temporary "no parking" signs, but only prohibiting parking 7 am to 6 pm. And these were often ignored. Perhaps when a crew was out there working something was actually done. It took approximately 6 weeks for the city to (mostly) stripe the reconfigured bike lane with something more than spraypaint. No work has been done in this intersection in recent weeks, but the temporary no parking signs are gone, and the no parking areas have not been modified to correspond with the bike lanes. I'm not sure what the City's specific intent is with this intersection. My assumption is that it is meant to improve crossing safety for pedestrians attempting to cross NE 57th (despite the presence of a signaled crosswalk 1/2 block further south). Since the lane configuration change, I have observed many more cars stopping for pedestrians at this intersection. If that is the intent, here is some anecdotal evidence that it's working. As things are currently configured, however, the potential safety improvement for pedestrians is far outweighed by the risk to cyclists. I use this intersection as a cyclist, pedestrian, and driver, and the work at this intersection needs to be completed quickly. I hope something can be done quickly and before someone is injured at this intersection. I have had three near-misses here, that required me braking suddenly or swerving out of the way of a moving or illegally parked vehicle. I am cautious enough of the known danger to go slowly and with care, now that I've been at risk.

A car approached from the south on 21st, ignored the stop sign, and aggressively accelerated through the intersection, turning left onto Clinton. Since we were already in the middle of the intersection, the driver pulled into the incoming lane of traffic, swerving dangerously close to me and my small children. I am certain the driver was anxious to not be "stuck behind" us as we traveled this Safe Route to School and Neighborhood Greenway.

What happened?: A bicyclist was riding on Tillamook. A car turned right onto Tillamook directly in front of the cyclist.

The motorist then drove their vehicle directly toward the cyclist, who had to swerve to get out of the way. This was intentionally threatening and intimidating behavior.

I had absolutely no visual on that pedestrian until the last minute. That simple decision prevented a lot of grief for a lot of people, including myself.

Where were you?: sw taylor at sw 2nd, Portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-05-20 07:35:00
What happened?: I was travelling West on SW Taylor between 1st and 2nd. I was occupying the right-hand lane, which I believe to be safer on this particular block, and another cyclist was occupying the left lane. As we traveled between 1st and 2nd a silver Range Rover swerved between the two cyclists, from the right lane to the left, deliberately crowding me in my lane and gunning his engine. We both stopped at the red light on 2nd, the driver rolled down his window shouting obscenities including "get your f***ing piece of s**t off the road" at a level of rage that cannot be safe for a man of his build; you can picture the guy, balding overweight white guy in expensive clothes - basically just who you expect to driving a Range Rover like he's the only person on earth. I shouted back, trying to keep the altercation verbal rather than give him the opportunity to act out the homicidal rage in his eyes. When the light turned green, he peeled out and took off at a high rate of speed. I looked up and saw there was a Portland Police Supervisor in his car just around the corner. I stopped to report the incident to the officer who was oblivious to all the screaming and the speeding vehicle leaving the scene some 30 ft away from his vehicle and showed no inclination to take any kind of action - to be fair, I hadn't gotten a plate # but the offender was still only a block away. Summary: Raging asshole in silver Range Rover deliberately menacing cyclists downtown. I suspect that he works within a few blocks of this location and is a serial offender. Let's get this menace off the streets before he kills someone or strokes out from unjustified anger.

When did this occur?: 2015-04-07 17:20:00
What happened?: Myself and two other people on bikes were heading East on Lloyd and were turning onto NE 12th when a driver passed us in the same lane and then turned right into the left lane of NE 12th (the same lane that we were trying to turn into). All three of us narrowly avoided getting hit by moving into the right lane and hugging the curb. We then got subsequently passed dangerously close by nearly every single other right turning vehicle. The sharrows on the right lane seem to give the impression to drivers that bikes don't "belong" in the left lane.

What happened?: I was waiting to turn left from NW Couch onto NW 3rd Ave. I was in a line of vehicles, with one car in front of me and several cars behind me. The car in front of me pulled into the intersection to turn left. She then put her car in reverse and quickly backed into me, hitting me and my bike. She later explained that she "didn't see me" but also must have missed the three cars waiting behind me.

What happened?: A driver in a small red sedan, on a cell phone, ran a stop sign going south on NE 8th, nearly hitting me (pedestrian walking my dog, heading west on NE Going) and a person on a bike (who was heading east on NE Going). I yelled, the person on a bike yelled, and none of it got the drivers attention. We were both mid-way across the intersection and completely visible - the driver just did not seem to care and seemed hurried. Thank God we were both quick in veering out of the way, and that my dog responded when I yanked him out of the car's path.

What happened?: I was biking along Couch headed east, and getting ready to turn left onto 22nd just a block from my house. As I approached the intersection I saw an SUV coming in fast (heading South on 22nd toward Burnside), and started to slow to make sure they saw me and saw the stop sign. I had to pull far into the left lane and slam on my brakes to avoid getting hit -- the driver flew past the sign and never even slowed down. I biked after him and made him apologize, explaining that he almost killed me in my own neighborhood by failing to obey traffic laws. The man was an a##hole.

When did this occur?: 2015-06-30 15:15:00
What happened?: While on the pedestrian path that follows the south edge of N Columbia I was preparing to cross N Fiske. The pedestrian signal changed to indicate that crossing was safe, however knowing how dangerously people drive on Columbia, before proceeding I looked behind me over my right shoulder to check for west bound traffic making a left. As I did so, a car traveling at a high rate of speed made just such a turn, coming within no more than a foot of me as I stood on the curb - turning entirely into the oncoming travel lane on Fiske to accommodate the rate of speed at which she was making the turn. If I had not instinctively checked for just such behavior and proceeded into the crosswalk when the signal indicated it was safe to do so I would have certainly been hit and quite likely have been killed given the speed the driver was traveling.

Right here, there are streetcar tracks, so forcing bikes around his vehicle is dangerous due to the high speed of traffic and the tracks.

The intersection with Brooklyn is at the bottom of a little dip, and has stop signs for cars on Brooklyn but no control for cars & cyclists on 31st. I typically use the dip to get some speed so I can make it up the next block. As I approached the intersection, a POLICE CAR did a very fast california stop -- more of a brief slow down -- and entered the intersection without seeing me. As we got closer, with me slamming on my brakes and trying to avoid him, he saw me and hit his brakes. It was a close call.

Perhaps a signal timing issue, and certainly a problem with high traffic speeds on Naito, which drivers treat as a freeway, not the intensive bike/ped use street that it is and should be. Thank you.

Had I been going through the intersection, she surely would have hit me. I verbally indicated my displeasure ("Hey, watch it."), and at the next light when I caught up, the driver did apologize and indicated she'd not seen me. I can only guess she was not paying close enough attention because I had lights on and it was a sunny day.

What happened?: This is a HORRIBLE intersection. it is a major intersection for UP with construction trucks, pedestrians, bikers, and cars coming onto the north campus daily. There is no turning lane. The bike lane is on the right and to make a left turn into UP, I have to plant myself in the middle of moving traffic waiting to make a left turn. Cars can't get around me unless I'm in the middle of the intersection and to get around me they have to go into the bike lane. It's really bad at rush hour b/c of the volume and the fact that everyone is in a hurry. A bike box is badly needed as well as a turning signal on the light.

What happened?: I was northbound on SE 46th, riding in the bike lane. The light turned green as I approached the intersection - I could see that the first 2 vehicles in line were turning left and the third car had no turn signal flashing. As I was going straight, I proceeded to pass the 3 vehicles on the right (still in the bike lane). Just as I entered the intersection, the third car in line (which I had thought was going straight turned right in front of me. Because I was hyper alert, I was able to turn right as well and avoid being hit by mere inches. Had I been less focused by even a little bit, I would have been another right hook victim.

What happened?: I was heading north on NW Marshall st after stopping at NW 11th ave to check for cross traffic (its a one way west on 11th) the Portland Street car had just come to a complete stop at the station to load and unload passengers making (supposedly) safe for me to proceed through the intersection. 2 people driving vehicles accelerated around the street car as I started to enter the intersection, the 2 people operating the vehicles illegally started to pass the street car using half the vehicle lane and half a bike lane. I had to slam on my brakes to keep from being hit by the people accelerating around the street car and into the intersection. the lead vehicle recognized that I was entering the intersection and having to slam on my brakes due to her bad decision and subsequently slammed on her brakes coming to a stop just over the cross walk line. Then motioned for me to proceed! besides the Peril the person put me in, What if there were someone crossing in that cross walk in front of the street car and I was not there would she have seen them in time?

What happened?: I was biking in the bike lane on SW Walker when one of the Nike dumptrucks overtook me close to the intersection, and the operator decided he had enough time to make a right turn on Murray just ahead of me. (He didn't.) I had time to come to a stop to wait, and when the dumptruck was clear and I started to go, a driver in a smaller car (silver Prius?) then turned right in front of me too. If I hadn't been vigilant I would have been right-hooked by 1. the arrogant dumptruck driver 2. the careless driver following his illegal lead.

What happened?: A person turning left in a car did not yield to the people on bikes proceeding legally through the intersection about 20 feet in front of me. They were trying to make a left before the light turned red and, if we're being charitable, misjudged how fast they could execute that turn without interfering with/almost hitting (and would have if the cyclists didn't e-brake) the through-traffic they are required to yield to.

What happened?: My seven year old son was in the round about with the right away. Driver was facing South on 31st attempting to turn right onto SE Clinton. She started to pull right into him without looking or seeing him. I yelled for her to stop. She stopped a foot from running him over. He stopped too when I yelled and could reach out and touch her grill. When I confronted her, she admitted her traffic violation. She did not apologize to him, ask how he was, or show any concern for his safety. She said she just wanted to get on with her day.

What happened?: I was riding westbound on Woodstock Blvd when an SUV passed me partially then drifted into the bike lane as the road bends. I was pushed nearly to the curb. I was leaning against the car then once I gained control again I beat the side of the vehicle with my fist. She stopped at the next stop sign and unrolled her window. Her first response was "that is not a bike lane" Uh. Yes. That is exactly what a bike lane looks like. Don't drive in it. Her second response was, "you scared the hell out of me banging on my window" Uh. Yeah, I wasn't scared at all by you nearly killing me. Her third complaint was "I am not like that. I would never do that." Uh. You are like that. You just did that 15 seconds ago. I don't think we can even begin to have a conversation about bike safety when people that think like that are allowed to drive. I noticed her "share the road" license plate as she drove away.

What happened?: I was biking down Glen Creek Rd. in a bike lane when a black Chevy HHR LT Oregon License Plate 207 DJU passed by me - driving with its right wheels within the bike lane. The driver passed with about 4 inches to spare and began executing a right turn early into Bartell Dr. with me along side the vehicle. The driver had plenty of time to see me and the driver was driving aggressively as if to intimidate me.

What happened?: Co-worker and I were crossing SE 82nd at SE Overland on the green light heading east straight into the Home Depot / Dick's parking lot. Opposing left hand turning automobile traffic heading west exiting the parking lot did not yield. SUBARU wagon (metallic tan) w/ one occupant locked eyes w/ me, stuttered for a second, hit her brakes momentarily, then gunned it, putting their automobile directly in a path to left hook me. I hit my brakes and swerved left to miss them and yelled a warning. The vehicle directly behind them was going to follow the same path, but at the last second noticed us clearing the intersection and slammed on their brakes and allowed us to get through the intersection. This is a fairly common occurrence at this intersection. There is NO dedicated left turn arrow. Sometimes I wish I had a HUMMER grille & bumper attached to the front of my bicycle... maybe they would see me then.

When did this occur?: 2015-06-01 17:30:00
What happened?: This is where SE 22nd curves around to become Gladstone. There's a cement plant and a freight terminal right there. Trucks driving West into the freight terminal frequently cross through the curve, through the double lines, without slowing. I saw this happen yesterday, the truck went full speed ahead through the double lines and nearly plowed through a car, to get onto the ramp. This is an absolutely terrifying spot for cars and cyclists coming the other way. The trucks have no regard for anyone else coming through the curve and frequently plow right through. Maybe half of the trucks will stop or slow. The rest maintain their speed, as its not an especially trafficked area. Someone is going to get killed here. There should be a light, or at the very least a stop sign.

Where were you?: NE 24th and Weidler, Portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-06-01 17:00:00
What happened?: I had to cross from a bike lane across two lanes of traffic to get to a third lane which was effectively a turn lane. That third lane had a red light, the two other lanes had a green light. This was actually the complicated interchange at 24th and Weidler heading eastbound and I had to go from the Weidler bike lane to 24th. The prior light had recently changed so traffic was light, so I used a hand signal and crossed with plenty of room not to cause any slow down of vehicles. No obstruction of any kind. I have a rear view mirror too and can see all around my position. A woman well over 50 yards behind me (and not the car right behind me, about 50 yards back) rolled down her window (it may have already been down) and honked wildly and repeatedly yelling to get out of the road. The honking continued even as I stopped for the vehicles in front of me. Just as I turned around to see what was going on (was there a pedestrian or somebody else she was yelling at that I hadn't seen?), she continued in the straight middle lane and spit at me as she went by. I only heard the sound of the spitting and saw the spit. The face went by too quickly for me to register it. I didn't even know I was the target until the spit came my direction. The spit didn't get very far. I was probably 8 feet away, and her spittle went about 3 feet. Yelling isn't conducive to spit accumulation. A man also with his window down (I don't know why these people had their windows down, since it was raining lightly), about two cars behind her in the right lane, yelled out with a tone of solidarity, "Just ignore her, she's crazy!" I suppose it's somewhat comforting to know that not everybody is out to hurt me for the mere act of riding a bike.

Where were you?: SW 3rd and SW Taylor, portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-05-20 07:35:00
What happened?: I was travelling West on SW Taylor between 2nd and 3rd. I was occupying the right-hand lane, which I believe to be safer on this particular block, and another cyclist was occupying the left lane. As we traveled between 2nd and 3rd a silver Range Rover swerved between the two cyclists, from the right lane to the left, deliberately crowding me in my lane and gunning his engine. We both stopped at the red light on 3rd, the driver rolled down his window shouting obscenities including "get your f***ing piece of s**t off the road" at a level of rage that cannot be safe for a man of his build; you can picture the guy, balding overweight white guy in expensive clothes - basically just who you expect to driving a Range Rover like he's the only person on earth. I shouted back, trying to keep the altercation verbal rather than give him the opportunity to act out the homicidal rage in his eyes. When the light turned green, he peeled out and took off at a high rate of speed. I looked up and saw there was a Portland Police Supervisor in his car just around the corner. I stopped to report the incident to the officer who was oblivious to all the screaming and the speeding vehicle leaving the scene some 30 ft away from his vehicle and showed no inclination to take any kind of action - to be fair, I hadn't gotten a plate # but the offender was still only a block away. Summary: Raging asshole in silver Range Rover deliberately menacing cyclists downtown. I suspect that he works within a few blocks of this location and is a serial offender. Let's get this menace off the streets before he kills someone or strokes out from unjustified anger.

Where were you?: Naito and SW Taylor, Portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-06-01 12:15:00
What happened?: A person made a swift right turn into an available street parking spot. I was riding in the bike lane on the right side slowing passing the vehicle (we were moving at 10-15mph) before the driver attempted to pull head first into the spot. I bounced off the passenger side door. Interestingly, it occurred right in front of a city tour group. I was fine, just startled. The waterfront multi-use path happened to be closed due to some festival event preparation.
Do you believe the driver committed a traffic violation?: It was an unavoidable accident
What best describes the situation?: Right-hook (overtaking driver at an intersection turns right across cyclist's path)

What happened?: I was in the bike lane heading east on Hawthorne, and an SUV right-hooked me. If the driver had used his mirror or checked his blind spot, he would have seen me. It is doubly egregious because he knew I was there; I had been in front of him 2 blocks earlier.

What happened?: I was at the stop sign waiting to cross Glisan along with pedestrians on three corners of the intersections waiting to cross. A dump truck headed towards the Old Town construction was coming down the hill. A car turned right onto Glisan from the Northbound lane on 13th, assuming that the dumptruck would stop for all of the pedestrians. The dump truck didn't slow down, honked multiple times and swore out his window. Aggressive driving of oversized vehicles in Portland city limits must stop.

What happened?: Pickup truck hauling a trailer passed me on the left, but did not cross entirely into the other lane. Then the driver came back into the right-hand lane too early, causing the trailer to nearly clip me. The driver also did not signal. Since this is a two-lane street w/o any buffer, I take the lane. This is neither the first - and I doubt it will be the last - time that I've nearly been clipped or been passed entirely too close (within three feet) on this road.

You have children, do I have children? I pointed to my childs bike connected to mine with a follow-me. His mirror was bent back where he hit me as evidence, gave him the other part as further evidence.

What happened?: I was biking eastbound on SE Clinton when an older red Toyota Tacoma (or maybe its predecessor, the T100?) pickup came up behind me. They came up fast, then slowed down and passed way to close trying to run me off of the road. I was riding on the sharrows to avoid the door zone, and the driver clearly was trying to steer towards me. The woman in the passenger seat was looking right at me, but I had nowhere to go. They passed mere inches off of me. The driver immediately brake checked me. As soon as Westbound traffic cleared, they turned left and headed North towards Division.

The car surged forward and stopped a few feet short of the bikes entering the roadway at that point.

The driver that was going northbound on SE 21st went without stopping, as if stopping behind the bicycle counted as stopping.

What happened?: I was riding southbound at SW Virginia, and had stopped at the 4-way stop at Nebraska. Just after I proceeded through the intersection, the same driver that ran the stop sign at SW Iowa (see entry at SW Virginia and Iowa 2 minutes earlier) passed within 2 feet of me (well within the southbound lane). Let's just say that it was this series of events that prompted me to post on this website.

What happened?: Driver attempted to turn left from eastbound Ankeny onto 20th despite signs indicating right turn only for cars and the presence of a curb divider along the middle of 20th. I was nearly left-hooked before I yelled; the driver slammed on the brakes but she seemed to want to continue. I told her she's not turning left there and she begrudgingly backed up and turned right onto southbound 20th.

Where were you?: NW Naito and Steel Bridge (waterfront path)
When did this occur?: 2015-06-11 09:30:00
What happened?: From: Scott Kocher Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2015 3:03 PM To: novick@portlandoregon.gov; Amanda@portlandoregon.gov Cc: PDOT Traffic Safety and Livability (safe@portlandoregon.gov); Aptekar, Bryan (Bryan.Aptekar@portlandoregon.gov) Subject: Waterfront near miss Dear Commissioners Fritz and Novick: This morning I was riding my bicycle to work on the path in the Esplanade a few yards south of the Steel Bridge. I was wearing hi viz, with a front light on full strobe, in dry daylight conditions, when I was nearly struck head-on by an orange City of Portland forklift being operated in the path. I was not traveling fast, and I saw when she came from the grass onto the path and started coming at me. I stopped. I screamed. She looked where she was going just in time to stop. Everyone was ok, this time, but it was a very dangerous and unwelcome situation. This path is possibly the most heavily-used path in Oregon for people of all ages to bike, walk, and run. The City (Parks?) has vehicles on the path to facilitate festivals, and on a daily basis emptying trash cans, etc. I hope City employees operating vehicles on the path will be extremely careful in this environment. Hoping that people will be careful, however, doesn’t solve a dangerous environment. May I suggest: FLAGGERS It would be helpful to have standard work zone precautions, such as flaggers and cones, any time the path is being used as a work zone. This morning there was nobody helping the forklift operator, and no cones or markers for the work zone. A SAFE PLACE TO RIDE AND WALK ALONG NAITO Big picture, the waterfront path is overcrowded. I would prefer not to ride a bike there. But, there is no connection for my route–Naito north of the Steel Bridge to downtown–without going onto the path. Staying on Naito under the Steel Bridge means negotiating multiple shallow-angle railroad tracks (where I have seen bicycle crashes), and narrow bridge footings with fast traffic and no place to ride a bicycle for several blocks. The only path under the bridge that is not currently in use as an encampment is the one I was on. As a daily user for most of the last fourteen years, I increasingly see collisions, near misses, and uncomfortable and unsafe encounters with people who are intoxicated or impaired along the waterfront path, particularly around the Steel, Burnside and Morrison bridges downtown. I hope soon we will have a safe place to ride, run, and walk along Naito that connects to the Hawthorne and Steel Bridges, and Naito north of the Steel Bridge, as a viable alternative to the overcrowded and currently out-of-control waterfront path. Thank you for your work to provide immediate and longer-term solutions. Scott Scott F.

When I held my line in the bike lane and passed straight onto Barbur the driver gave me a honk as if I was in the wrong and needed to yield.

I stopped my bike in the intersection and called out, hoping to avoid contact. The driver saw me and stopped in time.

As I returned to my office, I noticed that the City has not painted or maintained any crosswalks or stop bars along Grand or MLK. This is a frequent problem for pedestrians along these busy, one-way streets. I believe that safety would be hugely increased if crosswalks or stop bars were painted to indicate where motorists must stop at all one-way intersections.

What happened?: I was run off the road by the Driver of an R+L Carriers Semi Truck and trailer this morning at 9:43. I was traveling southbound on NE MLK in the easternmost lane. The driver came up behind me, well in excess of the speed limit, crossed multiple lanes without signalling and ran a fully red light in order to cut me off. Without speaking to him, I went on to the sidewalk to record his truck number to report the threatening and dangerous behavior, at which point the driver shouted " R and L Carriers, if you want it- you don't belong on the road!". The truck number is PS746. I also recorded the trailer number and a photograph of the driver. This aggression on the road is completely unsafe and unjustifiable- all the lanes were open and this driver went out of his way and broke numerous traffic regulations to intimidate me.

When did this occur?: 2015-06-15 17:30:00
What happened?: I was at the stoplight on 42nd waiting for it to turn green. When the light turned green I proceeded through the intersection taking the lane to make sure I could safely make it to the bike lane on the other side of the intersection. The car driver aggressively passed me on the left to cut me off even though there was a long line of cars waiting to cross Halsey in sight. The female passenger in the car screamed when she thought her driver was going to hit me. I did not encourage this behavior or do anything in retaliation besides throw my hands in the air after I was safe.

Where were you?: SW Vista At bridge
When did this occur?: 2015-06-17 13:30:00
What happened?: Myself and cycling friend was riding down Vista from Council Crest. A BMW was stopped at a stop sign when we were about a hundred yards up the hill. I saw the driver look then look the other direction. A car was co9ming up the hill and the BMW accelerated, turning left! I started screaming as by that time I was about 100 feet away. We were graking full and I went behind the BMW and was able to stop within 25 feet past the car. My riding partner impacted the BMW and destroyed the windshield, Right front fender, and hood of the BMW. The carbon fiber frame was embedded in the fender. My partner went over the car and landed in the middle of the intersection. His right ankle was dislocated, a chunk the size of a palm print was torn from the inside of his right thigh and he had a cut on his right cheek below his eye. I don;t know how his clavicle is but he woke up withing a minute. A sheriff deputy showed up within 20 seconds and was in contact with dispatch while I was on hold with 911. He confirmed that an ambulance was on the way before 911 answered me on the cell phone. 3 police cars showed up and 2 motorcycle policemen arrived within a couple of minutes. The ambulance arrived while everyone was exchanging information. A nurse was there but the policemen were keeping My partner down. He wanted up, BTW he is a doctor.

What happened?: Vehicle headed Eastbound on rosa parks, stopped in the westbound left turn lane (to turn south into denver), turned left against stopped westbound traffic, across multiple lanes and double yellow centerline into back parking lot of Ukiyoe Japanese restaurant. I was headed westbound on RP, in bike lane, about to turn north onto Denver. The vehicle slammed on its brakes as I veered right onto sidewalk up the driveway, narrowly missing being Tboned. Incident occurred because: 1. Driver insisted on making an illegal left turn 2. Stopped vehicles waved the vehicle across without regard to the moving bicycle traffic to their right.

Where were you?: SE Hawthorne and SE 10th Ave
When did this occur?: 2015-06-16 17:15:00
What happened?: I heard a person yell, and then I came to the intersection of 10th and SE Hawthorne. The woman was sprawled on the ground next to the bike, and a couple of passers-by were attending to her. I heard a man, who later said he was the driver, saying "the lanes of traffic stopped for me, but she didn't stop. Apparently, he was crossing Hawthorne headed south on 10th Ave, and proceeded in front of the victim. From the damage on his car (Washington Lic: ANG3487, a grey sedan), it looks like she t-boned him as he cut her off. Fortunately, she stood up, and emergency vehicles appeared within a few minutes. This could easily have resulted in a death. That intersection is dangerous, as cars headed south during rush hour may see cars yielding the intersection, but may not be able to see that there is a bike lane on the far right. No through traffic should be permitted there (detour to the light a block away) or at the very least there should be clear warning signs about the bike lane.

Where were you?: S'bound NE Lloyd at NE Oregon
When did this occur?: 2015-06-19 09:25:00
What happened?: The bike lane of S'bound Interstate Ave drops as it cross Oregon (Steel Bridge) and Interstate become Lloyd Blvd. There is a merge sign, but it is not widely noticed, IMO. This morning, I merged with plenty of room, but the GOld Volov wagon sped up, honking, and proceeded to pass dangerously close then cut me off. I caught up to the driver at MLK (of course) and watched him turn right on red w/o checking the sidewalk, then proceed to cross multiple lanes without signalling and turn left on Everett to access I-84. Lloyd needs sharrows and better signage, there should be no right on red at Lloyd and MLK, and cars wanting to access I-84 from LLoyd should be directed further east on Lloyd or at least to Davis so they can make safe and legal lane changes.

What happened?: I was riding north taking the full lane on the bike route that is Broadway (why isn't there a bike lane???). As happens on a monthly basis, a motorist started aggressively tailing me and honking even though I was going 20mph and there was a red light one block ahead. The next thing I remember was waking up in a hospital. This is VIOLENCE WITH INTENT TO KILL and a hit and run. The police response was pathetic - I was told later that *maybe* the car was frustrated with how slow I was going and was trying to go around me. NO. I have a bad head injury and have to alter my summer plans (first summer off in 8 years). PDX is NOT "bike friendly" and needs serious upgrading before I recommend that anyone bike commute here. No wonder our mode share has stagnated.

Where were you?: SE Hawthorne and SE 7th Ave
When did this occur?: 2015-06-25 12:45:00
What happened?: I was riding east on Hawthorne and had the green light at SE 7th. This section of roadway is slightly downhill coming off of the bridge so it is very easy to be doing 20 MPH or more. As I entered the intersection, a driver who was northbound on SE 7th & turning right on to Hawthorne (and had a red light and a green bike box) rolled into the bike lane without stopping behind the green box, coming to a stop blocking 2/3 of the bike lane. Fortunately, with a little tail wind I was going about 25 (the speed limit there that almost no one obeys) and was able to quickly move out into the car lane. I yelled and pointed to the green box but all the driver could manage was to speed by me and then, turn into the Burgerville lot at SE 12th. Maybe he thought they were going to run out of fries! When is PBOT and PPB going to figure out that these green boxes are a joke. I live near the one at SE Lincoln and SE Cesar Chavez Blvd and I could write 10 tickets per hour during the busiest parts of the day. It always amazes me how many drivers move to the front of the box when they have a red light even though they are making a left turn (of course, at all of these green boxes, right turns are prohibited on red, too.). I would like to know how many tickets are written for green bike box violations. PPB should do stings on green boxes.
Do you believe the driver committed a traffic violation?: The driver broke a traffic law
What best describes the situation?: Running a red light, Vehicle blocking bike lane, failure to stop behind green box and illegal turn where turn on red was prohibited by signage

What happened?: Driver dangerously turned off 20th behind me, tailgated, then attempted to speed around me while I was beginning to pass a cyclist. Driver failed to get around me, but tailgated me dangerously and menacingly until I moved over, then sped off, turned left onto 22nd, and proceeded to intersection with Burnside to turn right. I approached the driver and he yelled at me, "Don't get in the way of drivers!"

Where were you?: SW Barbur Blvd. and SW Hamilton
When did this occur?: 2015-06-29 08:15:00
What happened?: While proceeding northbound on SW Barbur Blvd. in the bike line, driver turned right onto SW Hamilton across my lane. He drove past me prior so he must have known I was there. He didn't signal until just a few feet prior to the turn. Because I had an inkling he might turn (he was drifting into the bike lane) I was able to stop in time. And although he had his windows rolled down and I started shouting as soon as he began to initiate the turn, he just kept right on going. This is a VERY common problem at this intersection. The bike lane really should be painted green at this intersection because the drivers just do NOT seem to notice it -- in spite of the huge amount of bike traffic on Barbur.

What happened?: A car was stopped in the bike lane because of a line for the underground parking lot. I considered going around the car, looked, signalled, then stopped myself. A moment later a big yellow rental truck went right through the space I would have been in - it had been a lane farther over, but came into the right lane at that moment. A bike behind me stopped very suddenly - the rider had been about to overtake me.

What happened?: I was heading east on Pine. The light at Pine & 4th was red, and there were several cars lined up waiting for the green. I pulled up behind a large flatbed truck, in the center of the lane. Next thing I knew, the truck was backing in to me. I scrambled to get out of the way, and barely managed to do so. My favorite part of the subsequent exchange: when asked "what were you thinking," the driver responded with a a quip about how "you guys are always breaking laws." I asked, "Who are "you guys"? There are two of us in this interaction. You, and me. And you're the one who backed over me." It's amazing how some drivers just tar & feather all cyclists.

When did this occur?: 2015-06-27 22:30:00
What happened?: I broke off from the naked bike ride to grab some refreshments. After turning onto Brooklyn, I noticed that one of the people in the group I was travelling with was still in the intersection and couldn't cross. She was trying to cross legally in the crosswalk on her bike, but no driver would stop for her. I rode my bike back into the intersection to stop traffic so she could cross but a driver (who appeared to be drunk) did not stop at first and had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me as I legally crossed the intersection with the right of way. The near collission was completely avoidable. If any of the drivers would have obeyed the crosswalk law, my friend would have safely made it across the intersection without any issues.

Where were you?: N Interstate ave at Larrabee
When did this occur?: 2015-07-06 09:05:00
What happened?: A full size semi (tractor trailer) sped up behind to overtake me as I approached the Larrabee viaduct overpass on Southbound Interstate. There are some ambiguous signs indicating bikes may be on the road, but they are obscured by trees and calls to the City go unanswered. I was preparing to attempt a merge out of my lane (bike lane, because the bike lane disappears under the viaduct) into the adjacent motor vehicle lane to avoid behind crushed between a vehicle and the viaduct column. The truck overtook me and proceeded to drift across the white line into the bike lane to the point where the right-most tire on the trailer was fully over the white line. I had braked hard after my head check and watched this truck over the exact spot I would have been on my bike if I had not been looking backwards in paranoia. After the truck cleared the overpass, I was slowly approaching and did another head check. A City of Portland vehicle had seen this and had slowed to a crawl to let me in. I have requested enforcefent (speeding, distracted driving, aggressive driving) for this location and requested engineering fixes but all the City has done is installed signs that motorists cannot see and do not appear to understand.

What happened?: I was biking north on Water Ave. As I approached the four-way stop at Yamhill, I merged left from the bike lane into the main traffic lane. I waited while the three or four cars in front of me on Water waited their turns and went through the intersection. Because I was planning to get on the Morrison Bridge path, I kept my left arm extended the entire time I was waiting to signal my intentions. When I got to the head of the line, I waited for all the cars that had arrived before me to proceed. I was almost through the intersection when a Subaru blew through the stop sign. I would have died if she hadn't jammed on her brakes at the last second. I am very attentive of all traffic patterns at an intersection, and I can assure you that this car had only just become visible around the corner of the Eastbank Plaza when I initially entered the intersection.

The woman ahead of me split off to the left; as I entered the intersection, the driver who had almost hit my girlfriend lurched forward and almost hit me, too. Apparently almost hitting my girlfriend didn't make them think to check behind them.

What happened?: I was stopped at the stop sign at SE 67th & SE Raymond street. I could see a car run the light at SE 67th avenue & SE Foster in my mirror. The car came up behind me very fast after running the stop sign at Raymond. He then tried to pass dangerously despite lack of space. The driver backed off, as there wasn't enough space, then started following too closely. During this time, he accelerated a little too much and nearly hit my back wheel. I was biking about 20 mph at the time. I was very scared and moved over to the curb to get out of the road and off my bike, but the driver moved over too and passed very quickly about 6 inches off of me. The driver drove up a few feet and stopped. He then confronted me verbally, as I stood on the sidewalk with my bike. He finally drove away and I continued with my commute.

Fortunately, she saw the man in the crosswalk in time and slammed on her brakes so hard they squealed. The man ran the rest of the way out of the crosswalk, clearly shaken. The woman was halfway across the westbound lane of Harold when she hit her brakes, so another car coming westbound had to wait for her to clear the intersection before proceeding.

He then passed me, and pulled off and stopped just past 34th avenue. I explained Oregon's laws about passing bicycles safely, and he said that those laws don't exist and I was making them up.

Where were you?: SE 65th Ave and SE Tibbetts, Portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-06-10 10:00:00
What happened?: I was biking north on 65th Avenue when a driver came off of Tibbetts and almost t-boned me. Tibbetts does not go through that that intersection, so traffic at 65th has right of way. If my bike weren't equipped with a car horn, I'm pretty sure I would be dead right now.

Where were you?: SE Clinton St. and SE 43rd Ave
When did this occur?: 2015-05-26 08:40:00
What happened?: I was biking west on Clinton St. My speed was 20 mph, so I estimate that the driver passing me was going at least 35 mph. Even if this wasn't 15 mph above the speed limit, it would invoke the fall height rule, requiring them to pass me with at least 6 feet to spare, which they did not. I had been watching them approach me in the mirror. They were driving on the wrong side of the road at 35 mph from 48th avenue all the way to Cesar Chavez.

When did this occur?: 2012-06-01 18:30:00
What happened?: I was biking SE down Broadway off of the freeway overpass. As I was getting read to turn right onto 6th avenue, a car that had been driving parallel to me turned right from Broadway into the bike lane. I slammed into them so hard that I had a scab the size of a silver dollar on my shoulder. Even back when this incident happened, the bike lane was painted green all the way through the turn. The driver just flat out couldn't stay between the lines on the road.

What happened?: I was biking west on the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. I stopped at the red light at Sunset Blvd. When the light turned green, I proceeded into the intersection. Without warning, a driver in an old pickup truck turned from the eastbound lane into the gas station on the NW corner of the intersection. He explained that he had been waiting for several cycles and gotten impatient, and didn't see me even though my bike was equipped with a 1000 lumen headlamp and I was wearing a bright yellow Endura jacket as I always do at that time of year.

I estimate they were going over 30 mph. They missed my front wheel by inches.

Where were you?: SEE Ladd Ave and SE Lavender St.
When did this occur?:
What happened?: I was biking SE down Ladd towards the stoplight at Division, when I heard the Suburban behind me pull around to try a pass. I was going 25 mph, and there was another car that had just turned off of Division and was heading NE in the opposing lane. Once I saw that there was oncoming traffic, I knew there was no way the Suburban could make the pass without causing a head-on collision. But he made the pass anyway! The other car had to slam on their brakes; the right taillight of the Suburban passed a foot from my handlebars. The stoplight at Division was red, so I caught him seconds after he passed me. I tapped on his window and said that he had passed too close. He had given me only a foot, and the minimum passing distance is my fall height (6 ft). He said that he had been "completely in the other lane," and that I should ride further over. Again, I was riding 25 mph--the speed limit--and had I been riding any further over I would have risked getting doored by a person stepping out of a parked car. He then said to me: If you want to be a stickler for the rules, just remember that I'm driving a 7,000 pound vehicle, and you weigh maybe 180 pounds. That's your choice.

I noticed moving car approaching the bollards at a 90 degree angle. I looked over and saw that the driver was looking down at her phone and not paying any attention at all. I slammed on my brakes and yelled at her to stop. She stopped just before she would have hit the bollards.

What happened?: Someone driving a large truck and turning right did not yield for someone on a bike who was going straight (Westbound). After nearly missing the first person on a bike, the driver continued their turn and nearly hit another person on a bike. After that person on the bike went through, the driver continued and nearly hit someone in a stroller. Then, someone from the opposing side (Eastbound), turned left right in front of the bus I was on, nearly hitting us and almost hit a 3rd person on a bike and the same person in the stroller. We shouldn't have this kind of shitty infrastructure that allows this behavior.

When did this occur?: 2015-04-07 09:05:00
What happened?: I needed to move over from the bike lane to the left turn lane. Traffic was light, so I signaled a merge into the right lane (from the bike lane). A car let me in. A car was slowing to let me into the left lane after I signaled that merge. An late '90s white subaru wagon split the lane between the small sedan about to let me in and me to continue North on Naito. My left arm was grazed by their sideview mirror. Somehow, I didn't fall over, but my shoulder was injured and my upper arm was bruised.

When did this occur?: 2015-04-17 17:45:00
What happened?: I was biking east on Clinton St. at 20 mph--the speed limit--and approaching the intersection with 49th Ave. As I was biking, I had my eye on a black SUV that was making unsafe passes of the bikes behind me. Based on how quickly they caught up to me, they were probably going 10-15 mph above the speed limit. A northbound driver on 49th Ave turned left onto Clinton. The 49th Ave driver executed their turn just fine, putting me in no danger whatsoever. Unfortunately, the black SUV was passing me just as the 49th Ave driver completed their turn. Both drivers had to come to a complete stop to avoid a collision. I continued onward, and the SUV roared up behind me and drove *way* too close to my rear wheel right up until I got to the stop sign at 50th Ave, where they turned and I continued straight.

What happened?: I was biking east on Clinton, approaching 29th Ave. There was heavy bike traffic in both directions. A car was waiting to head south on 29th Ave. The car behind them started laying on their horn even though there was too much bike traffic for the car in front to proceed into the intersection. I kept an eye on the situation in my mirror. The first car turned right; the second card followed the first car through the intersection without even pretending to stop at the stop sign, and then turned left and roared up behind me. They yelled at me to get off the road, then started honking their horn, then passed within a foot of my handlebars even though I was going over 20 mph. They had Washington plates.

What happened?: I was biking west on Clinton, approaching the stop 34th ave. A woman was biking with a young boy, about 6 or 7 years old. The woman and the boy stopped at the stop sign at 34th, checked both ways, then proceeded into the intersection. Another woman on a bike, behind the boy but in front of me, blew through the stop sign and passed the little boy with only two feet to spare. She didn't announce her pass and he swerved to the right because she startled him. She was going about 18 mph, which could seriously injure a 6 year old if she misjudged her pass--and she left herself without much margin for error.

She had just passed us less than 30 seconds ago on the way down the hill (and appears to have been speeding down to the red light.) If I had not suspected that she may turn right (because many drivers do here), noticed her car cheated slightly to the right, approached with extra caution, and shouted "hey!" as she started turning, she would have hit us (perhaps if I missed any one of these items.)

What happened?: Driver revved the engine and honked the horn just as the red pickup came alongside me, intentionally threatening me by crowding the bike lane despite an extra lane available to their left. They then sped south along Barbur at 60mph or more. This was intentional harassment on a dark stretch of road where many people do not feel safe biking and the bike lane is often littered or missing while the traffic lanes are far too wide and speeding at 10mph over is the norm. One might suspect from the time of night that the driver was at least partly drunk.

Where were you?: 7529 SW Barbur Blvd, Portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-07-16 00:58:00
What happened?: The driver of a blue chrysler minivan 129hek turned in front of me across the bike lane without signaling into the entrance of the Fred Meyer immediately after the Bertha intersection (westbound on Barbur.) We had both just been stopped at a red light and had started moving at the same time, so he had to have known I was there. While stopped, he appeared to be petting a dog (not in a carrier) in the passenger seat. The right rear turn signal was visibly damaged around the edges and had blue car wash tape on it (as did the rear wiper -- they do this at the kaady wash at Barbur and Terwilliger.) The signal may not have been working, but I didn't see a front turn signal blink either. The turn across the bike lane may have been legit with a signal, but I had to hit my brakes (going downhill at ~18mph by then) and the driver had accelerated hard to pass me from the light. Any complications at the sidewalk or in the driveway to the parking lot could have been dangerous at this speed, where waiting for me to pass or giving me time to trade lane positions would have taken a couple seconds at most. If I had not noticed the tape, the dog, and known that the fred meyer turn is a popular right hook location, I could have been hit. This turn requires drivers to cross a bike lane and sidewalk with no turn lane and with aggressive Barbur Blvd traffic behind them charging toward the "open road" with a long view toward no red lights until they crest the next hill.

Annoying, but I check over my shoulder and it's clear, so I move into the car lane to go around. Just as I'm along the driver's side of the car (but with about 3-4 feet of space between us), the driver starts accelerating into the lane. I stop, she stops and looks at me in her side mirror. I think she's seen me and I start moving again. Just then she hits the gas and with no signal, peels out right in front of me, squealing her tires and missing me by a foot or two.

What happened?: I was riding Westbound on NE Multnomah, when a driver nearly right-hooked me, turning onto NE 7th Ave. He had been waiting for a pedestrian to cross the crosswalk, and then did not wait for me. We both stopped, his bumper inches from my foot, and he has the nerve to motion for me to move out of the intersection. He also yelled and said I was a "weirdo".

Where were you?: SW Marquam Hill Rd and SW Gibbs St
When did this occur?: 2015-07-16 07:20:00
What happened?: Incident of very unsafe passing during my daily commute to OHSU. I was riding downhill on SW Marquam Hill Rd at the point where it becomes SW Gibbs St. I had taken the lane, since this is a blind curve to the right and there are often pedestrians walking down the hill to OHSU. I was probably going 22-23 mph on this 25-mph road. The vehicle behind me suddenly accelerated, swerved halfway into the lane of oncoming traffic to pass me, nearly missed hitting a car in the oncoming lane (driver of which honked their horn), and then swerved back into the lane in front of me to avoid hitting the other car. Unfortunately I wasn't able to catch up to the offending vehicle or get the license number. It was a white SUV with Washington plates, 7 characters (no hyphen), first 3 AYD? This is a steep, winding road that is heavily trafficked by cars, bikes, and pedestrians all sharing the lane with no shoulder. Drivers are generally courteous, patient, and cognizant of the fact that passing is very dangerous on the curves. No one was hurt this time, but this driver's action was incredibly stupid and reckless and could have ended very badly.

What happened?: car passed oncoming cyclist, crossing double yellow, into oncoming lane in which I occupied. car did not slow when I was in center of lane. I had to dive to gutter to avoid head on collision. OHSU needs to do more to discourage unsafe commuting to their campus. PBOT needs to do more to discourage unsafe driving. SW Fairmount needs slower speeds, more signage, and speed bumps. Too many walkers, joggers, and cyclists are on this road to allow people to drive so fast.

What happened?: The driver was in the right hand lane that was supposed to merge into the left lane. Most drivers were alternating- a driver in the left lane would let one right lane driver in front of them and then drive forward. I let one right hand lane driver on front of me and started forward. The driver immediately to the right sped up and started merging. I honked thinking they didn't notice, but they continued merging left into where I was, attempting to drive me off the road! The car was a black Lexus SUV with an Oregon license plate starting in 888, and then may have been LMT, but not sure of the last three.

What happened?: I was biking east on Clinton, approaching the traffic circle at 23rd Ave. A huge white van roared up alongside me and tried to force their way between me and the traffic circle. I was terrified, I honestly thought I was about to die. There was no path at all through the intersection that didn't involve running me over, and up to the last second I was convinced that they were going to. I had two near-death experiences in less than 10 minutes on my ride home! Drivers like these need to be banned from the road, permanently. Someone is going to die.

What happened?: I was biking south on 5th Ave. Just after the light at Morrison turned green, a huge red pickup pulled up behind me. Even though I was going 15 mph--faster than the 12 mph signal timing on that road--the driver illegally pulled partway into the bus only lane and passed me. He was less than 3 feet away through the entire pass because he was straddling the line between the general traffic lane and the bus lane. He wasn't even halfway through his pass when he started drifting to the left. His window was opening and I was screaming and banging on the side of the truck (yes, he really was that close), but he kept passing. His rear bumper passed inches away from my front wheel. Then he brake-checked me, because the light was still red. We had to wait for probably five seconds at the light! This guy broke at least three different traffic laws (illegally entering the bus mall, inadequate passing distance, inadequate merging distance) and almost killed a person, and for what? At Taylor there were two cars at the red light. I value my life more than some asshole getting to be third in light at a red light instead of fourth. Don't you?

What happened?: I was walking my bike across SW 6th Ave, using the southern crosswalk. I was walking just behind another person, also walking a bike. We had to jump to the side to avoid being hit by a man in an Escalade. His vehicle came to a stop more than halfway through the crosswalk. He was illegally driving in one of the transit lanes, and he had his right turn signal on so I stopped and pointed at the "No Turns" sign (https://www.google.com/maps/@45.519748,-122.678248,3a,75y,359.46h,98.36t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sCSjdfbrtBDiPOI_bsLXtUw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656), but he refused to make eye contact with me. He broke at least four traffic laws (driving in the transit-only lanes, making a right turn from a center lane, failure to obey a traffic control device, failure to obey a no turns sign) and almost killed two people. Drivers like this need to be kept off the road.

What happened?: I was biking east on Woodward, approaching the traffic circle at 56th. Another cyclist was exiting the traffic circle, biking west. The car behind her exited the traffic circle and pulled straight into my lane, almost colliding head-on with me. This is explicitly prohibited by ORS 811.410(1)(c): "The driver of a vehicle shall not drive to the left side of the center of the roadway in overtaking and passing a vehicle proceeding in the same direction unless the left side is clearly visible and is free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance ahead to permit the overtaking and passing to be completed without interfering with the operation of a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction or a vehicle overtaken."

What happened?: I was biking eastbound on Harrison. A Pizzicato delivery vehicle (Kia Soul- type car) came up behind me. There was a small gap in parked cars (two parking spots in a row were open), and the driver cut into the parking space and then cut immediately out of the parking spot to attempt passing me on the right (I was going 15 mph up the hill, which is only 5 mph under the speed limit on a greenway). There wasn't enough space and due to my speed (I was going way faster than they expected) and had to move into oncoming traffic to avoid getting run over. There were cars heading West, which slowed down, but the Pizzicato car only gave me less than a foot of passing space while pulling this maneuver. They then braked, drove under the speed limit for a few feet and pulled into their destination--St. David's of Wales church.

She did not pull in close to the curb so not only was she blocking the bike lane, but half of the car lane too, forcing cars to move into oncoming traffic to pass. The light changed and we got a walk signal. We checked for reverse lights and to make sure the driver would keep the car stopped before proceeding. As soon as we were behind her car she hit the gas and almost reversed over us. There was no warning, but no better place to cross.

What happened?: I was biking east on Lincoln. A car came up behind me after the signal at 50th, right at the intersection 51st they decided to pass me. While the driver was matching my speed (less than 20), they did not have sufficient space and ended up passing way too close. I didn't have anywhere to move, but just engage my core to better hold my line and hope for the best. They continued under the speed limit east on Lincoln.
Do you believe the driver committed a traffic violation?: The driver broke a traffic law

Where were you?: sw gibbs & sw 10th
When did this occur?: 2015-07-28 07:30:00
What happened?: Another near-miss on my commute to OHSU. I was riding down SW Gibbs, bus headed northward on SW 11th turned right onto Gibbs in front of me. I slowed down a bit and continued on behind the bus. A few moments later, just before the Plaid Pantry, a Jeep coming in the opposite direction started to turn left and nearly hit me. It stopped in time (a few feet away from me), I swerved around and kept going. Not sure if the car was coming up Gibbs/Sam Jackson or out of the Plaid Pantry -- I was focused on the bus in front of me, and apparently so was the Jeep driver.

Where were you?: SE Woodward St and SE 62nd Ave
When did this occur?: 2015-07-29 08:58:00
What happened?: I was biking west on Woodward, came to the stop sign at 62nd Ave, stopped, then proceeded into the intersection. A driver going south on 62nd ran the stop sign and almost hit me. Failing to come to a complete stop at that particular stop sign is completely unacceptable. There is a five-foot tall hedge abutting the NE corner of the intersection, making it literally impossible to see other vehicles at the intersection unless you are all the way up to the stop sign. The driver this morning was either a complete idiot or knew full well she was risking a collision and ran the stop sign anyway.

Where were you?: NW 14th & Irving, Portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-07-29 09:20:00
What happened?: Van from Portland Mechanical Contractors, perm plate 32419, made a right-hook turn across the bike lane. I yelled and skidded both tires to avoid face-planting into the side of his van. I sprinted to catch up to the driver, he was unapologetic. I need to start using a Gopro on my commute, I guess :/

What best describes the situation?: Right-hook (overtaking driver at an intersection turns right across cyclist's path)

Where were you?: Hawthorne Bridge, Portland, OR
When did this occur?: 2015-07-30 09:50:00
What happened?: I was biking west across the Hawthorne Bridge, approaching a slower cyclist who was biking along the right (railing-side) half of the path. When I was about 15 m behind the slower cyclist, she moved to the left because a pedestrian was coming in the opposite direction (east). The slower cyclist took a position in the middle of the path (5 ft from the road, 5 ft from the deck). It was not safe for me to pass, so I took up a position behind her and to her left, with my front wheel slightly behind her back wheel, 4 ft from her position and 1 ft from the roadway. As we were passing the pedestrian, another cyclist came up from behind and tried to force his way through the gap between us. He only stopped because I shouted at him to knock it off. Because of the space between me and the slower cyclist, it would have been physically impossible for this idiot to thread the gap between us: he would have knocked me into traffic, or her into the pedestrian, or both.
