Speed differentials are the most dangerous part, so when I'm going 15km/h, and someone blows past me doing 35 in a lane wide enough for one, well ,that's a bit of an issue.
And let me guess, no ringing of the bell or "on your left" when passing? Because that's really getting on my nerves, from all cyclists. I thought it might be confirmation bias, so I started counting. Of the last 20 cyclists who have overtaken me (mostly on the bike paths), three rang a bell or gave a verbal heads-up. Three. The most recent jackass who passed without any bell was on the winding, blind-spot heavy stretch of path between Glenmore and the Rockyview Hospital. Convenient for anyone knocked down with a broken wrist or collarbone, I suppose.

You're on notice Calgary cyclists. I'm gonna start calling out non-ringers. Emphatically and unambiguously.
