Primary position

I have never had a cycling accident that related to a car/truck/bus. I mean to keep it that way.

I hope people don't mind an opposing opinion, as it keeps the topic alive, and the discussion lively.

Opposing opinions are good. Discussion is good. Perhaps the next stage is a discussion in situ ie on the road, rather than repeating the same things here. Cycle training is all about real conditions and reacting to them rather than dry descriptions on a web forum.

Btw what did happen to you if not car truck or bus related? Was it a pedestrian?
