When we ride our bikes we accept the risks involved. Well. Some of us.
No one is making you do it.
This is just about the stupidest illustration of a point I have ever seen. How many sharks have a drivers license? How many sharks take a test to swim and sign an agreement to stay out of swimming area? Zero. You know why? They are a ******g animal. They don't have higher intelligence like human beings should. They don't know a bicycle from a shark cage.
"I accept the risks" dur dah dur.
A human actually CAN see lines on the road. A human CAN interpret obstacles in their path and have a couple of innovative inventions called a steering wheel and a brake. In conjunction with their brain and reflexes, human beings have an ability to miss cyclists. They have an ability to understand that you are supposed to share the road, give room to pass safely...when they choose to.
