A couple of years ago I was side-swiped on a canyon road with no shoulder. I managed to stay upright and only had a bruise on my hip and no bike damage. Long story short, I no longer ride on that road.

I route all my rides to be as safe as possible knowing that my next ride could be my last. I pray before each ride for safe travels knowing that I only have control of what I do. I wear high vis clothing and use a front and rear blinking light. I obey all traffic laws. If I get hit, I know I did my part to avoid it.

Am I anxious? No, I did what a reasonable safe cyclist does to prevent getting hit.
