Statistically speaking, if I got creamed tomorrow, I still won. Preach to someone who doesn't know any better.
Technically, you will have lost, because you ended up in the "wrong" column (Injured/Deceased).
Here, we have one-way streets where bikes ride against traffic. Why? Because, it shown statically shown that it reduced accidents in a residential areas versus having cyclists riding in the same direction. I believe in hard data with sample sizes of hundreds of thousands. I don't acknowledge anecdotal information.
However, I do encourage you to keep up the "tough-guy act" as it is moderately entertaining and BF could use some entertainment when that crazy guy isn't around (fietsbob).
