    If you ride close to the cars in streets with parallel parked cars you’re in the dooring zone. Someone doesn’t check if there’s a cyclist approaching, opens the door and you ride into the door because you can’t react fast enough. Usually you can’t look into the cars ahead of you, at least I rarely can. You should keep some distance from those cars, but sometimes bike lanes are in the dooring zone.
