I am not saying that all biking is this dangerous but sometimes it feels like it. I am both active in road and mountain biking and I am off the belief that road biking will probably lead me to getting an injury before any of my antics on my mountain bikes will. The most hazardous thing for bikers is always been the problem... drivers of cars!!! It doesn't matter if I have had a bike lane or not, I always have to be constantly aware of all cars on the road and taking preemptive steps to make sure the car doesn't hit me. Shouldn't they have some responsibility in this arrangement? They are the ones in a life ending size vehicle and I am on one that could only cause a dent in a car if I aimed for it.
Since, these rules will probably never change, I will just mumble more about this under my breath and keep watching out for the next car that will hit me because they were too busy talking on the phone or changing the radio station to notice another human being.
