The author was hit by a motorist. As a road cyclist, I ride predictably, visibly, and legally. Yet every close call or collision has been due to motorist impatience, inattention, and/or lawlessness. By over-emphasizing the "luck" factor and using the narrative of some inanimate force of nature "a car" causing the harm, we continue to fail to hold those directly causing the problem responsible.
