There's something about Blackfriars Bridge that is a curse on cyclists. I've never had a problem myself but it just feels wrong and I've seen a couple of incidents there.
As for the aftermath. I suggest thinking about yourself as an individual rather than part of a group. Feeling persecuted/marginalised/overly vulnerable because of your status as a cyclist isn't particularly rational. I realise that it's hard to reconcile seeing the aftermath of an accident and rationality. Also, in reality, millions of miles are cycled in this country everyday without incident and even when accidents do happen, the high majority of them result in less than significant injuries or damage.
