It's weird how peoples' attitude towards death on the road is affected by the mode of transport - it's almost as if (well, I know it is because I've heard it from more than one person) that because we ride bikes, and bikes are inherently dangerous - we deserve to crash and die.
Unfortunately one of those people is my wife and nothing I say or do seems to dispel this attitute she has towards bikers. I think it's because they scare her when she's out driving.
I can kind of sympathise a little, because I have a little of that towards cyclists - even though most of them use the road properly it's the minority that seem to trigger our prejudices.
