It is suicidal for any vehicle (bicycle, car, moped, unicycle) to shoot the gap between two other vehicles on a single lane

There should be a word to describe being so traumatized by something that didn’t happen that you’re sick to your stomach. That was me last week, standing beside my car wondering if I was going to throw up.

Just as the other car was passing, the dad with a toddler shot the gap between us at a high speed. It was a daredevil move. The biker had accelerated. He had to, you can’t “shoot the gap” going slow. Many drivers, having checked their mirrors seconds earlier, would have merged into the lane as he was going past. If I had, the cyclist and his toddler would have been splattered on the pavement.

“Did that really happen?” asked my wife, who was in the passenger seat. “A dad on a bike with a kid in the back shooting the gap?” In disbelief, she mentioned wanting to call the kid’s mom.
