I'm not sure that a story of one experienced rider being struck and killed invalidates the common sense argument that more experience is better than less experience. I did not mean to impress that the techniques I mentioned above, if mastered, would result in 100% safe riding. As far as biking being particularly dangerous in NYC, you'd need stats like miles traveled vs fatalities for a number of major cities to make that determination. It might be more dangerous in NYC, but it might not.
