“Bike riders also more likely to be hit by cars. Most of the people I know who ride regularly have been hit at least once.”

Been riding for over 70 years. I ride at least 3 times a week now. Never been hit by a car.

I was only riding a bike for a year when I got hit.

Trikes and training wheels on the sidewalk doesn't count.

“Never been hit by a car.”

You shouldn’t have said that.

Yeah, but I do notice as I get older that I much prefer riding on bike trails than on the road. Because some drivers are idiots, and not just to cyclists.

One of my friends from High School who was a tremendous athelete [he played professional soccer] was hit by a drunk illegal woman and killed while riding his bike in Miami. She got less time than some people get for burglary plus some probation. Makes me sick to think about it.
