People are arguing against a point that I have not made.
Using me as an example (and in response to Hoonz), bike and rider weight in at around 90 kg's, car and driver weigh in at around 1,700 kg's.
I would say that anyone in their right mind would prefer to be hit by bike + rider rather than car + driver. In London I am normally faster on the bike than I am in the car- but that's another issue.
What I have been trying to point out is that the perception of speeding to a driver and RLJ'ing to a cyclist are identical, and exactly the same arguments are trotted out for each.
