Ultimately that is the key. Barring any unexpected problem, I will reach 400,000 lifetime miles on a road bike next year. Outside banging and beating around with cars, cabs, trucks and pedestrians during the 2 summers I was a messenger in NYC I have never come in contact with a car. They do what they are supposed to do and I do what I am supposed to do along with trying to predict what dumb stuff they are about to do.
In the end, cycling is one of my safer hobbies though that could change on my ride I will start in a few minutes. I will say of all the states that I ride in LA is one with a higher percentage of near misses. Drivers just aren't used to bicycles and don't seem to know how to react to them.

We do know how to react to them. Get the frick out of our way before you get yourself killed. You want to ride a bike to work, go work in a city that's conducive to that. Baton Rouge is not. Stop trying to make everyone else conform to you.
