[something]

I'm also a big fan of the black-box idea. i live in the same area as guy in article. been hit 3 times. twice sideswiped by an aggressively right-turning vehicle that thought they should speed past me, slam on the brakes and turn into me. Both of those guys SAW me and tried to beat me to their turn. i had no chance. both falls were no big deal because i could choose how to go down. ...one of the guys even sped away. third time a guy signaled a right turn into a parking spot, pulled in, then with right turn signal still on, banged a U-turn. i t-boned him. again, not bad because i slammed on the brakes and kind of jumped into his car with my back, absorbing impact. that one could have been far worse had he turned a few seconds later.

two of these accidents were in the heart of cambridge, ma (very bike friendly) on streets with wide bike lanes. one in Arlington (mass ave.)

had i a 360 record of each incident i could prove that each of the drivers was operating as recklessly as a drunkard. i probably would have no-harm-no-fouled the two that profusely apologized and wanted to make sure i was okay. i'm sure they are very careful around bicycles now. the hit-and-run, well, i would have played my role as a litigous american and sued his pants off.

i guess it's time to spec-out a cyclist's black box.

too bad i have to go to work now...
