What? In the past five years, you've had multiple collisions while being overtaken? Care to share details? Could be some interesting lessons here.

Yup, be visible, be predictable, follow the rules of the road, use lights at night, and don't drink and ride, and cycling risk drops down into the noise of everyday life. Unfortunately, the other thing you have to do is be an adult. I'm having trouble getting my stepkids to cooperate with that one.
