I’m sorry; no I’m sorry, no no I’m so sorry.

I just witnessed today a white van and a bicycle have a collision, nobody was hurt but the cyclist was knocked off his bike. I’ve seen similar scenarios in London, where the white van driver shout profanities at the cyclist while continuing to run over the bike, while the cyclist continues the exchange of language.

However much to my amazement, the driver got out of his van and rushed over to the cyclist who was getting up and dusting himself off. They both started apologizing and asking if the other one was alright for about five minutes. At the end of it, they were such mates if they hadn’t have been holding up traffic (which wasn’t beeping ferociously) they would have gone and watched a game together.

I was impressed people of Toronto, impressed.
