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.



Ah right, I'm supposed to go out on my bike in a constant state of
terror, waiting for that moment which will come, eventually, of me
having a crash or someone crashing in to me.
Sorry to not be part of that odd bunch who cycle and insist on feeling
like a victim while they are doing it, no doubt thier knuckles white on
the handlebars and unable to avoid incidents as they are scared rigid.

I ride my bike to ride my bike and I am part of the traffic, whether two
or four legged.

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. I did not
'hit' the car.

Why didn't you stop in time to avoid the collision?

You mean, he should have applied the same standards to himself that he
expects of others?
