I nearly had a Honda vs. cyclists incident two days ago.
I was driving the Honda, headed west on a 40,000 vehicle per day four
lane, approaching a notoriously crash-prone intersection. A wrong-way
cyclist on the berm decided he wanted to be somewhere else, so he left
the berm and rode straight at me, apparently trying for a head-on
collision. He was looking back over his right shoulder.
I hit my brakes hard and blared my horn to get his attention. He
shifted to the westbound lane to my left and gave me the finger, and
when cars came up in that lane, he rode on, straddling the center line
between two-direction traffic. When I last saw him, he was still on the
center line, looking back alternately over each shoulder, apparently
trying to decide where he wanted to ride.
He was the worst, but for some reason, the salmon riders seem to be
especially common just lately. :-/
