I used to think more like you do now but not really so much any more. I used to think that more harm than good would come from relentless posts of killed cyclists, but I have had a change of heart. Maybe it was sydney's death that brought me around.

In my opinion cycling CAN BE DANGEROUS! The fact that Ken Kiefer was killed while cycling despite repeatedly asserting that it wasn't dangerous is a testament to this fact. It is important that everybody realize that there is some level of danger involved and to take as many precautions as they can to stay unharmed.

My belief is that if you don't realize that there is danger in cycling, than you shouldn't be riding. It goes without saying that cycling is not the only dangerous activity in which we engage every day. Bathtubs, cars, guns, knives and sex are also potentially dangerous, not to mention just about everything else you can think of.
