Cycling in Waterloo Region

Oncoming vehicles within 3' is scary. I had a similar experience this summer caught on video with my rear facing camera. Couldn't make out the plate so I didn't call it in.

Indeed, I was pretty shaken up, I screamed and yelled for a bit, then turned around, walked my bike back to the quieter concession I'd arrived on, and went home.

Later I emailed the governments of various levels for Perth, and the Town of Shakespeare explaining what had happened, and that this was a marked bike route, and yet, despite having been very recently reconstructed, had no bike infrastructure whatsoever, which seems unacceptable for a bike route.  And that I was a bike tourist, who was traveling to Shakespeare to spend my money, and because of the dangerous traffic conditions, I won't be doing so again.  I heard nothing from any one of the dozen politicians I emailed.  Not a peap.  I was very disappointed.
