I understand the OP's thoughts and respect them. I ride motorcycles and bicycles, my cycling is not on very busy streets, I will not give up my 2 wheels anytime soon. I have been hit from behind long before cellphones were a problem, and got back on my bikes. After that accident which resulted in losing an inch in height amongst other problems, I always where bright cycling gear and always have a mirror to watch traffic behind me. Be safe out there
