Comment Been riding for years (Score 1) 947
I've ridden an average of about 5k miles/year for the past 15 years, including 45 miles/day in almost daily commuting in busy traffic times.
I've had precisely zero accidents and zero injuries during that time, probably because I don't run stop signs or red lights, and try to be a courteous rider on the road. I see a lot of the same cars every single day, and they've seen me. When you don't ride around like a "critical mass" dickhead, chances are you're not going to get yourself into any trouble with traffic.
