You didn't answer the question...unless you are saying that you ride your bike facing traffic too. Do you?
If you are afraid, don't know how to use your hearing or your eyes or don't do what is necessary to make yourself visible, those are your crosses to bear.
Also, in case you didn't realize it, all roads do not have traffic moving at 55mph +
