Our state (Florida) is leading the nation in bicycle mayhem. https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/investigates/florida-remains-deadliest-state-for-bicyclists
I'm not surprised. This article from our local FOX affiliate lists my own county (Lee) as high on the list. The worst things that have happened to me are; a crotch rocket motorcycle blowing by so close we almost touched handle bars. He was flying and just laughed as he nearly hit me. I always ride with traffic per Florida law. A couple of years ago I signaled I was making a left turn and when I was making it a school bus closed in on me at a high rate of speed and started around me as I was turning. Please everyone be careful out there. Many, maybe most drivers are ignorant about dealing with bicycles. I see a lot of bicyclist that are ignorant of our responsibilities too.
