Cyclist injured after collision with car in city cycle lane

No the advice for cyclists, which you should know by now even as a
motorist, is to distance themselves from the parked car 'door zone'
and use the outer car lane instead, even when hooted at by impatient
drivers. That way they also have more chance of seeing a child coming
from the concealment provided by parked cars.

Of course, it is even more difficult for cyclists when cars are parked
in a cycle lane, as often happens.

Nonsense. Do not use cycle lanes and always allow at least a metre between
you and any other vehicle.

What can be particularly difficult though for a cyclist is a narrow
side road with cars parked nose-to-tail on both sides, leaving just a
single, narrow bidirectional lane in the middle. What should they do
about doors suddenly opening on both sides and cars coming straight at
them at speed from the opposite direction with nowhere to escape to?

Nonsense, if there is only up to about 3 metres, you ride down the centre,
as slowly and as carefully as need be. If there is oncoming traffic, you
either pass at a gap or both grind to a halt before moving over and
squeezing past slowly. If the driver is being a knob (many are) I just shake
my head at them.

Learn to ride Doug, then you will cease to be the victim.

BTW do you have the original url for the report? I tend not to read posts
from jms/judith.
