Bicyclists: Help Pass AB1408
F1,
Such people have worse fortune than the typical cyclist. Collisions
from the rear are relatively less common than others.
Of course, any individual's past history of collisions from the rear
probably has little or no influence on subsequent encounters.
I find it more than a little ironic that so many cyclists ride
unsafely and illegally on the left while so many joggers run illegally
and unsafely on the right.

Riding on the wrong side of the road is much more dangerous in
just about every other way. And it probably won't help in the
door-opening case -- those who do look before opening the door
are only likely to look back, where traffic (bicycle or
otherwise) is likely to be coming from. It is also not legal to
ride on the wrong side of the road.
