. . . the mass/velocity equation was never in my favor when it comes to a car, so I stayed away from heavily traveled roads that had no room for cyclists.

I hear ya on that point - one of the reasons that I try to avoid at all costs 26th & 28th Streets.

I also have two rules I ride by, "I ride like I am invisible" and "I assume every car is trying to hit me."
