Motorists don't even see other motorists or even AmTrak/Freight trains. One motorist dies ever 13 minutes as a result of this. What chance do cyclists have?
Motorists most certainly do not see me because a couple of years ago I gave up recreational cycling thanks to the smartphone craze. Motorists not seeing me is actually a life saving good thing in my case. They are not seeing me because I am NOT THERE.
Motorists not seeing cyclists is a given and there are no foolproof solutions. Live with it, or take up tennis.
