In 30 years of bike commuting, I've been hit by cars twice. Both times
it was a driver approaching from the other direction and turning
across the road in front of me. The first time the driver had no
excuse, clear day, light traffic. The second time the driver had the
sun in his eyes and I was partially obscured by a car passing me. He
waited for the car that passed me to pass, then pulled through and
t-boned me, though he did kinda goose it. meh...I'm still here.


I have yet to be hit, would like to keep it that way.


+1, emphatically.
