What's your opinion on Cyclists on the road?

I usually only cycle in neighborhoods, where traffic is much less. That being said, I have been hit twice in 14 years. My first time was due to an old lady speeding the wrong way in a school zone. I now have no child hood memories (absolutely nothing) due to a massive concussion (that happened at age 8) and I have a few damaged disks in my back. At age 22 I was hit again, this time by a woman who ran a stop sign. No where near as fast as the first, and I saw it coming. Took some skin off my back, but no head injuries!

Personally, most people who are driving are not paying attention (too busy being sheep, or a waste of sperm). Who knows how many accidents I have avoided while driving. I always pay attention, to cyclists, and everything else. I know the circustances when a 2 ton object hits you. It sucks. i would hate to kill or maim someone due to my own negligence.
