When I ride in from St Albert, i try to spend as much time on side streets. and with the few thousand kms I get every year having a confrontation with another user is rare. Education is the only way to make cycling and car interaction safe. We do need to get the 1 meter rule into the traffic act though.
Best interaction, about a year ago we were on a 120km ride. Hot and sunny Sunday. We were out near Chicakoo Park when we stopped at an intersection. A rolling Carbon Cloud pulled up. the window opened and a cold beer was handed out the window.
Had a guy try to run us off the road last year. I believe the guy was charged with dangerous driving after the police viewed the bike camera images.
Looking forward to the new bike routes as I am moving deeper into the core next fall.
