I’ll say it again, 5 bicyclists died in Chicago proving their right of way. Maybe there should be a more sensible way to handle yourself on a bicycle.

This is really a no brainer for bikes OR cars. There was a safety TV commercial back in the late 60’s I believe. It ended with these words: “Yeah, he was right. Dead right.”
My safety is MY responsibility, not the responsibility of traffic lights, stop signs, etc. Defensive driving should always be the norm, but especially when on a two wheeled vehicle. Even in my car, when people notice I am not safety conscious regarding air bags, etc. (I drive a Scion xB), I say, “My goal is not accident survival. It is accident avoidance.”
