side question. Did the guy look normal? Did he wear a helmet? Wear biking outfit?
Well, just don't want ppl to think that all bike riders are crazy. But there are some crazy ppl riding out that without their helmet.... which is VERY dangerous.

I still do trust police but this is not a case that they can really work on. Unless the guy beat you up (then they can charge him assault)... and as b06 said... sadly our police to people ratio is really low...

Protect yourself, drive far away. Unless he is an Olympic racer, he can't catch up with you at 50+km/h.

I have a question. If that bike is a car, would you have stopped and let the car throught?
The "incident" happened on West 21st is not a main road and some of those streets are narrow. If there are cars parked on both sides of the street, I would have stopped and let the car/bike through. (you know that stop at the gap between parked cars until the road is clear rule of thumb)

btw. I got a bit confused when you said you were heading East on W21st and then after you turned right you were heading north on cambie???

if I ride a road bike i could be at 40km/hr, so it's not impossible if they hit a few red lights.

The biggest question is why they didn't leave the area immediately the moment they realized the cycli ...

Exactly... why circle the block?

sorry for being mean... but I just got confused on this case.
