Harassment video from Edmonton area:
https://www.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.5395788


It's been a while since I've personally had a really aggressive driver, but just this year have already dealt with a few really oblivious ones turning in front of me (I had right of way and they blew stop signs), or pulling out from parked position as I was besides them, or the usual uncomfortably close passes. In the distant past I've had stuff thrown at me or my group, been forced off the road, been verbally accosted/abused, and had a cycling buddy ahead of me hit by a trucks mirror (after it suddenly veered across the wide highway shoulder).

With all the new cyclists, thanks to Covid, this may be an interesting year. I sure hope the media and the police "get it right" and stop blaming cyclists or making presumptions of guilt.
