Perpetuating the myth is very handy as it allow people to go 'See,
told you so'. If it wasn't a myth, how come so many people posing on
the ng are not dead and risen from the grave? How come we are still
alive after all these years? How have we managed to happily cycle
around without the constant contest/conflict we are told we are
undergoing?


It ceases to be a myth when you are hit by a car and deemed to be
culpable for your own injury because you were not wearing a helmet or
reflective vest, etc, etc.


sigh No. You hit a car because you believe that your "right of way"
gives you some exemption from having to compensate for ****ups other
people make.


The car drove into the side of my bike and bent the crank.


What happened to the bike?


splutter Nice one!
