Yeah, well if it weren't for cars, it wouldn't be dangerous. Bottom line is....cars weigh almost 3000lbs, move 50-80mph and the drivers don't pay attention, feel cyclists belong on the sidewalk/bike path and road rage on a regular basis....and when going for the same piece of road, they win all ties. That said, we accept it and take every precaution we can to be safe. Doesn't change the fact that it is dangerous.
