Then again, I do cycle on the streets of Chicago; an accident is inevitable at some point (I've already gotten hit twice, but they were just sideswipes where I didn't even fall off the bike... I just lost a bit of skin off my knuckles and got really angry at the drivers).

Indeed. In the past 5 years I've had one degree of separation from two bikers who were killed in separate accidents in chicago.
