Here's a GRT bus overtaking a cyclist on King St. Not a terrible overtake, but I wouldn't have been terribly comfortable with it.
On a broader note, I am shocked by how many people I see cycling on King St. In good weather, I'll see a dozen or more. Given how truly terrible the infrastructure is, there's clearly a huge demand, which makes the complete lack of any infrastructure, not to mention, the dangerous by design situation actually implemented all the more ... heinous.
That is the second worst intersection on King for cyclists. Where the yellow painted line on the left is encouraging drivers to sideswipe cyclists, in the name of keeping cars extra far from the centre curb.
(The worst intersection of course being the shallow angle track crossing at Allen)
*Cough* Moore *Cough*.
But yes, I pretty much saw that one coming, hence why I was filming. As did the cyclist, who before video was looking from the bus to the road ahead and back again.
