I have a bike and can say 90% of bike accidents are avoidable. I might ride it a tad aggressively, but I know to stay in front of traffic. I'm always scanning ahead and covering my brakes, I constantly scan for "what if" scenarios and look for exits, lane placement is key. I Make as much eye contact with people in their mirrors as possible. Bike riders aren't given enough respect in the States and aren't considered by most on the roads. They should always be given the right of way like pedestrians and cyclist. In Europe bike riders are more common and are treated differently and with caution.
