A mate of mine who is a complete track day addict, keeps fit by cycling (a lot) says he's been knocked off his push iron more times than he ever was on his motorbike when he rode on the road. The real irony is that he only got into track daze as he felt it would be safer 
...cheers, Michael
Yep, I can second this Michael. I cycle to work a couple of times a week and budget for getting hit at leat once a year. I have 7 lights on the bike (2 at the front, three at the back and two in the wheel spokes), flashing led arm bands and a high viz waistcoat which also incorporates flashing led's. I look very seasonal at this time of year. They still don't see me though - in fact the last time I cycled in last week I came within an inch of been hit whilst going round an island, by a transit which sped on from my left, and the three occupants also took the trouble to slow down so that they could give me a round of verbal abuse.
In comparison, I've been hit on the motorcycle twice in the same period of time as I've been hit on the bicycle about ten times.
I would have cycled in today, but I'm on the train instead as I'm seriously thinking about packing in cycling, as the older I get, the more mortal I feel, and the worse I bounce as I'm sure you can appreciate only too well yourself!
It's a shame because I hate it when the stupid actions of other people force me to change what I do, but perhaps it's time to quite whilst I'm ahead, or at least still alive.....
