Yup, I was pretty scared going down a busy boulevard in Winnipeg during rush hour a few weeks ago. About 30 cars blared their horns, 1/2 dozen whizzed by me about 6 inches away, and one was so determined that I did not belong on the road, the driver veered their car straight into my lane with their horn shrieking, forcing me off the lane.

It is scary (and peak summer, there's a major bicycle-to-vehicle collision every 2nd day in this city of 650,000 people).

But I'm still at that age where I feel invincible, so it didn't deter me from biking.
