Yes, yes, you're different. You only need to look out for yourself; once cars don't run you over, to hell with every other cyclist on the road. Cars respect you, and as long as you follow the rules, you have nothing to fear! Cyclists who get hit are asking for it...
This sense of individualism (or shortsightedness?) is a perfect example of why there are so few cyclists out there. The ones on the road see other cyclists as at fault when bad stuff happens and believe cars see them as equals...right until they get run over.
Where you from boy? Maybe you need to move. There are tens of thousands of bikers around where I live. Many of them are very politically active regarding cycling advocacy. Do accidents happen? Sure. We sort those out on a case by case basis.
