Doored

A cyclist traveling next to parked cars lined up on the street strikes a car door opened by the driver.

AVOID IT:
Always be looking several cars ahead. Ride at least a metre from parked cars, taking the lane if necessary. Be prepared to stop suddenly. Keep your weight over your rear wheel and apply strong force to the front brake lever, with moderate force to the back.
