Unless one is to assume that these three studies were all erroneous it
may be useful to make a study of who actually is responsible for
cyclists being injured as if the majority of the injuries/deaths are
associated with the cyclists breaking the law a more forceful
enforcement of traffic laws relative to cyclists malfeasance might
well be the real answer.


Telling bike riders what the rules are should be the first step.

I have spoken to people who were taught in school that one should ride
in the oncoming lane "so you can see them coming", and others were
taught that when two riders meet or are overtaken by a car, one should
dash across the street in front of the car and force it to pass
between them. This somehow "makes more room".


Well, if one gives up the responsibility of educating their kids to
some other entity than one should not complain about the quality of
the education.

Should one?
