So is the cyclist ok? The article doesn't say.

It doesn't appear she was seriously injured. The cabdriver told me that she initially declined medical treatment and that she wanted to get to work but that she was persuaded to get checked out and that she walked to the ambulance. I have her address but decided to leave her alone. For us, this story was more about how the camera caught an incident that told a different story from what was apparently being said at the scene. We may learn more when the driver goes to court. Will keep you posted.

Could I use this clip in another video to explain, why we should not have bike lanes in the door zone, and why cyclists should not ride there or be required to and why motorists should not harras cyclists who dont ride in the door zone?

@bwaldy1 You're a dumb cunt. Bicyclists CANNOT PREDICT when your dumbasses are going to open your car doors. You don't want cyclists to ride in the middle of the road, but when shit like this happens you blame cyclists. It's hilarious that you say "what the fuck with the share the road shit." Fine, why don't you get off your lazy ass and find some other route that cyclists don't frequent? Why don't you take a bus so that you don't injure or kill someone else because of your selfishness?

@gyurxi551 Work harder and you might be able to afford a car.

@no1dagboy It is a law: you have to look around before get out of car. You only able to get out when nobody is coming.

@bwaldy1 how is a cyclist supposed to know when someone is going to open a door from a parked car asshole? drivers are the ones opening their doors and hitting people without looking. how about some common sense, moron?
