On the road I ride with the attitude that if I get hit it’s ALWAYS gonna be my fault, for riding a bicycle on the road, and try to ride accordingly.
I'd like to explore how absolute that is. Texting driver crosses the centerline slams into you head-on, that's your fault?
You want to see how absolute that is, ask him if he'll be filing a claim for his medical bills with his own insurance company. Since it was his fault and eveything.
I just got back from my morning ride. I passed a bunch of people walking on the trail. Came up behind 'em, slowed down and let 'em know I was coming, and passed 'em on the left with no hit pedestrians, injuries, or conflagrations.
Every single one of 'em was either already walking over to the right or moved over when they heard me coming.
