The main problem that I see with avoiding the door zone is that a lot of cyclists have a defeatist attitude and see themselves as lesser road users!! We are not and have every right to use as much of the lane required to ensure our safety! It's better to annoy a few motorists then it is to get doored!

Hey cyclists... get off the fucking road.

I'll waste some of my time in order to waste the time of others...

The reflections in the window show that the creators were not careful, since you can see the bike already placed on the ground during the simulated "dooring". In addition, during a dooring, the back and front of the bike trade places, so showing the bicyclist lying on the ground with the bike pointing in the direction it was in before the collision is just bad staging.

I was just passed by two cyclists while waiting at a red light, they meandered on through the lights talking to each other, totally unaware of what they'd done, so I am not surprised at one of their number being "doored"

Let's hope that fewer cyclists ride so close to parked cars. this sort of thing is avoidable by riders.
