I've been riding the Cannon Cycle Track at least twice a day (to/from work) since it opened and I pass through the Cannon/Wellington intersection every time. I have lost count as to the number of times I've been nearly hit. I've even had the experience of a car waiting for pedestrians to cross Cannon (at Wellington) and thinking "ok awesome, they are paying attention" to then go through the intersection and have them fly around the corner. With the winter around the corner, it's going to only get more dangerous. Bikes can't stop as fast, just as cars cannot.

The most frustrating part is the drivers don't even notice you, or hear you if you scream at them. So I decided to buy a 140dB bike horn. Though I don't think I should have to resort to having one on my bike, nor should others, for now it helps me draw more attention.
