Cycling not particularly dangerous

So do whatever you can to avoid that eventuality. To me this is common sense stuff. You know like maybe not wearing a helmet when you ride - you consider the safety ramifications and you take your chances. The important bit is to know what the safety ramifications *are*. It isn't what you don't know that hurts you, it's what you think you know that isn't so. Things like active vs passive safety, road position, predictability, usefulness or otherwise of eyecontact, heaps of things that need to be carefully thought about rather than just assumed based on gut feeling.
