Perpetuating the myth is very handy as it allow people to go 'See, told

How come we are still alive after all these years?
How have we managed to happily cycle around without the constant
contest/conflict we are told we are undergoing?

It ceases to be a myth when you are hit by a car and deemed to be
culpable for your own injury because you were not wearing a helmet or
reflective vest, etc, etc.



Ah right, I'm supposed to go out on my bike in a constant state of
terror, waiting for that moment which will come, eventually, of me
having a crash or someone crashing in to me.
Sorry to not be part of that odd bunch who cycle and insist on feeling
like a victim while they are doing it, no doubt thier knuckles white on
the handlebars and unable to avoid incidents as they are scared rigid.

I ride my bike to ride my bike and I am part of the traffic, whether two
or four legged.
