I agree that it is very important that you ride safely yourself. Every Tuesday and Thursday I do bike training with school and one of the kids who thinks he is the greatest biker there ever was almost got hit by a car the other day. It wasn't the cars fault it was his he doesnt ride safe he flies through round-a-bouts without so much as a second look and he drifts within 2' of riders that are only just beginning and getting a feel for their bike and the road.

It's actually 78%, but half of them are pedestrians killed by bike messengers.
