A lot of the comments smack of Trolling.
The best way to avoid getting doored is to stay out of the door zone. Next best way is to ride very slowly in the door zone and hope your reflexes are fast enough to save you. Not much chance of that though if the opening door deflects you down and into the traffic that is NOT expecting you to suddenly in front of them - if they even see you because you're NOT in their lane, nor line of sight.
I was a messenger in Toronto, Canada and I saw my share of other bicycle messengers getting doored or causing accidents.
Cheers
