I generally bike through intersections, but steer clear of the actual cross walks, good to know that practice will keep me in the clear if some bonehead driver hits me. Drivers hitting cyclists I would imagine are 9 times out of 10 at fault. We are a lot smaller than a car and in the street, but at the same time the vast majority of drivers arent attentive enough in the first place.
Ive almost been hit too many times to count, its the main reason I curtail my riding as much as possible in the rain actually (people out here seem to forget how to drive as soon as a drop hits their windshield). Cars are just another road obstacle like potholes and glass
