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.
