What is that based on? If it were true, then cyclists in motorists' paths would be just as likely to be not noticed by motorists who believe that "cyclists should not be on the road" as cyclists in adjacent bike lanes. Absurd.
No, those cyclists are noticed...
Okay, so you agree that cyclists up ahead in the motorist's path are noticed, but that other cyclists, presumably those up ahead not in the motorist's path are often not noticed, and you think this is because motorists believe cyclists "should not be on the road", and the motorist not noticing the cyclist up ahead has nothing to with the white line that is separating them?

Did I get that right?
