fortunately, my accident has made me a more dedicated cyclist, and also switched me from the "vehicular camp" to the "invisible". that is, i bike assuming that no car will ever recognize my existence, while at the same time being as visible as possible.
Glad you've recovered.
Is there a thread where you describe what happened in the crash, and why you apparently think being in the "vehicular camp" includes assuming you are noticed by someone upon whom your safety depends without verifying that they have indeed noticed you?
If not, I for one would be interested in getting the full story on these two points.
