Not as such. I think the roads can be super busy and, historically at least, bikes aren’t on the road and traveling a similar speed to traffic (‘mamacharis’ on the pavement are the norm).
Since the last incident, I’ve been riding on quieter, mostly broader roads. However, this didn’t stop this guy hitting me (his front left hit the rear right of my back wheel and stayed in contact long enough that there was a carbon/rubber wheel-shaped mark on his bodywork).
Still healing (pins come out of my hand next Friday, all being well), so the Field is in with my mechanic here in the meantime.

Bit of a dredge, but the Field will have some repair work/replacement parts.
Just before Christmas I was hit from behind by a car (for the second time in two years) whilst training before work. I was lucky not to refracture my skull and wrist, and managed to come out of it with only a couple of very deep cuts to my face and a badly broken finger.
In short, it means a good number of parts will be changed (some from necessity, some purely for cosmetics, some just because I will get an insurance payout that’ll cover them). Luckily, the frame and fork seem to be fine, aside from a little paint damage.
Now I’m debating, if I’m replacing a fair amount of my groupset, do I change/upgrade my groupset or not...
