I've been flamed both here and on other fora for daring to suggest to these people that we should be looking for what we can learn from these incidents rather than simply jumping on the "Oh my God, another cyclist was killed!" bandwagon.
I guess the perceived danger is just part of the appeal for a lot of people.

They're pessimists. Do a poll and see how many are liberals, hint probably all of them. Activists have nothing to contribute to society except fear. Take a good listen to their rhetoric, nothing positive said. Screw what they say. Just go out and have fun.
