I believe the "deserve to be hit" part. Ninja bikers are as bad as salmon.

The 90/10 - okay, maybe it is 95/5 or 98/2. But our OP needs to know the 10 or 5 or 2 . . . is not 0. An alarmingly high number of drivers you encounter do not "see" you. No one, who is experienced at riding in the city, doesn't realize this.
