I agree. I've been biking for more than just a 1.5 mile commute for the last 9 months or so. I've already been hit once, even though people here are generally good about cyclists. Contrary to my expectation, it was not during bad weather or heavy traffic or anything like that. I was in a bike lane with right of way, headlight on, yellow vest, on a bright sunny day, when a truck pulled out of a side road from a stop sign. Luckily I saw him moving, slammed on the brakes, and only got the front part of my wheel hit. The person was very apologetic, paid for my new wheel, and I was only somewhat shaken up. But still, even under the best of circumstances, these sorts of things happen.
