Truth. Furthermore, accidents involving a bike and a car have mostly happened because of a lack of infrastructure and options for safe travel on bikes. Public residential streets, for example, are for all modes of transportation, not just cars. Car brains are hysterical and don't like that, and my life has been threatened many times while riding my bike on residential streets. I even had an older woman match my speed, roll down her window, and say "Next time I see you I'm running you over." Cyclists do absolutely nothing to deserve this, and even if they're holding up traffic, it's no excuse for homicide.
