Had a moment with a beautiful woman on a bicycle the other day. I was in my truck approaching a "T" intersection with a stop. Before reaching the intersection, she came wheeling out from my right, only a few feet in front of me. I had to aggressivley apply brakes. She paid no mind to the situation. She turned right in front of me and continued in the middle of the lane in my direction. I slowly passed her on the left and stopped as I reached the T. She didn't line up behind me, but passed me on the left to make a left hand turn. Just as a car in the right-of-way was trying to enter that lane. I was blocking a line of visibility to her, and the approaching car had to slam on brakes before ploughing into her. She pain no mind and continued her b-line to whatever destination.
She was beautiful, but completely absent minded and ignorant to the danger she was putting herself in. I hope that pretty face doesn't end up smeared on someone's grill. If you're out there, Ms. Magoo, you better wake up.

That, right there, is the quintessential Beautiful Godzilla, from BikeSnob's field guide a few years ago: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
I've been riding, racing, and commuting by bike for 28 years, plus lots of good car/truck fun, and Beautiful Godzillas still scare/annoy the crap out of me, even more than the usual crop of bike ninjas (no lights, well after sunset) every fall when the clocks get turned back.

This video again? Fuck you.
Last month I was waiting at a traffic light in my neighborhood. When I get a crossing signal, I always wait and make sure that all 4 lanes are coming to a stop before I cross because I've learned. (I should add this is the only light on my commute that I do this)
So the crossing signal goes white. A second or two elapses and I'm about to clip in when I look left and there is a mini-van who is going awful fast, and sure enough before I could say "he isn't going to stop" it sailed through the intersection going at least 30, at least 3 full seconds after my signal had turned green. Didn't even tap the brakes until he cleared the intersection.
