There is nothing, absolutely nothing you can do on a bicycle in traffic that should be punishable by death. As cyclists, we should never talk in those terms or budge on that. The default motorist perspective is so, so ridiculously far away from the middle right now that people are being killed just riding along, and then being blamed for it. Until that stops, do not give, do not compromise, do not apologize, and do not back down.
