Just yesterday, my teen was asking about all the bollards on bicycle and paved walk entrances. People suck, or are idiots all too often

The best bike infrastructure in the GTA is no match for the stupidest drivers in the GTA.
On the other side of the country, here in Vancouver, a couple times a year you get a car that decides to turn into the separated bicycle lane.

My ride yesterday was about 5 hours, across 7 municipalities, and over 130km.
I can say with confidence that there were at least a dozen close calls at intersections and cross rides, specifically because drivers aren’t paying attention.
I had one lady “stop”, and then crawl into the crossing, while looking only to her left (I was coming from her right). I had to stop and ring my bell before she even realized that I was there.
Many, MANY people making turns without checking for pedestrians and cyclists crossing.
And not stopping behind the line happened more times than I can count.
I’ve witnessed a few times people actually driving onto bike paths! Not just bike lanes, but fucking paths, like ones that go through parks and forests! Just clueless about what they’re doing.
