Back in the early '90's I had a bike courier cut me off brutally on Macleod northbound just approaching 9th Ave, he cut me off just after having gone under the railway bridge. The thing is when he got directly in front of me his chain broke, which instantly jammed his wheel and he went azz over teakettle directly in front of me. Having a lightweight car with good brakes and youthful reflexes I managed to stop before turning him into a meat cushion under my oil pan, most people would have hit him as I stopped just shy of him, so close that he was out of sight from my drivers seat. He was laying on the pavement groaning and I took the opportunity to give him crap for his stupidity while I angrily threw his bike onto the sidewalk; I'm sure that anyone who had not witnessed the first half would have thought I struck him with my car.
