My city has quite a few industrial/residential interfacing neighborhoods. I find them dangerous places to bike. I think you did everything right, the problem is the driver was looking for a break in traffic and not checking forward until it was almost too late. In hindsight, perhaps getting closer to the vehicle in front of you could have solved this, but then you are presented with more potential risks. Thank goodness you are okay!

One speed, one gear: go. Fixie riders never die. 💪 braking is indeed dangerous in many situations.

stopping isn’t dangerous, blind drivers are dangerous
