I disagree: while there are a probably a large number of idiot RLJing pedestrian buzzing fixie-skidders on this here forum there are also a fair number of sensible folk who hold the primary position and reporting dangerous drivers to the police in VERY high regard. These folks are more than happy to advise on safe riding in given situations and there are many threads here discussing such topics.

Essentially:While I realise that we still share the road with idiots and it technicall could happen to us I think the 'easily' remark can be very well mitigated.

I mean in the fact that as cyclists we are so vulnerable to motor vehicles, all it takes is one lapse of concentration by a driver and they can be over you. Now one lapse in concentration by a cyclists could result in the cyclist falling off or hurting himself - nowhere near as bad.
