Commuter cyclists are the biggest gamblers of all cyclists. Our lives can truly change within an instant. I know that the same could be said of pedestrians and motorists, alike. However, we actually deliberately put ourselves into harms way. Many times, we're cycling directly in front of people who literally hate us. The ones who don't hate us, feel somewhat ambivalent about us. Of course, there are those drivers who profoundly care about us, too. It wouldn't surprise me a bit, if the ones who care, are really cyclists, themselves. We take outrageous risks being commuters.
