It's not a good thing when vehicles come into contact with bicycle riders. Some drivers are just plain careless. My uncle was swiped by a side-view mirror one day on his way to work. My mother was hit at an intersection one afternoon while she was out riding. She survived with a minor leg injury. A couple years back there was a cyclist that wasn't so lucky. He was killed outright. Drivers ought to take better care when there's a cyclist in the road. The car or truck has a tremendous advantage over the human body.
