The paranoia required to just stay alive as a cyclist doesn't promote anything near to harmonious co-existence. I don't ride on roads because I can't stand the stress. As a cyclist on the road you're inhabiting a very unbalanced risk vs reward equation. I know the percentages are low, but one mistake from you, or more likely someone else, and BAM, life over or changed forever more. I've been involved in enough car accidents to distrust the average human's ability to drive.
