That guy is going to die, I have been hit 3 times while ridding my regular bicycle. He is much harder to see and going at the speed cars are going to hit him. Everytime I have been hit I was going over 25 mph on flat ground, cars do not expect a bicycle to be going that fast. Two of the times people have passed me and then turned to the right in front of me. I mean just feet in front of me without even a turn signal not that it would have mattered because no one can stop that fast. Two of the 3 were arrested for drunk driving after hitting me.

Sounds like you are a very lucky guy surviving three crashes. Time to get off that bike and get into your Elio.

I've been hit twice on a bike. At a park a lady backs out ,to the left ,of a parking place,as I was passing on the right . She speeds up and passes me then turns into a driveway to the right. I apply my brakes as hard as I can ,hit the side of her car right behind the front wheel and roll across the hood. Thank goodness I was in my twenties and recovered with no damage. The other time ,I was just bumped at a stop sign.
