I have survived many narrow misses, even some that have caused minor crashes or "ditching". Never been hit yet, but I see where this trend is going as others in my area are getting maimed and killed on a fairly regular basis. I feel lucky I survived long enough to make the decision on my own. I am done with unnecessary cycling on the road. None of my 4 helmets are going to save me with a dualie up my arse.
