The discussions surrounding the infrastructure over the last month may be what made one recent exchange between two road users particularly fraught before it eventually ended with a biker mooning a motorist and smashing her car with his fists.The video starts with the driver tapping her horn to get the cyclist, riding ahead of her, to move out of the single mixed-traffic lane and into the street's dedicated bike lane.

"I have no idea what prompted the cyclist not to use the bi-directional lane — was it even going in his direction at the start of the clip? The only thing I would encourage him to do would be to practice de-escalation and avoid confrontations like this.
