    Im never realy sure if those stories should appear in cycling mags or not. It dosent seem to me that there is any lesson to be learned.....completley random events of driver carelessness, where a cyclist was unfortunatley in the way. Could just as easily have been another driver/pedestrian etc. All they do is make cyclists a little more nervous, when the likelyhood od these things happening is still very low (touching wood).

    Maybe Bicycling would have been better off devoting a segment to cycling craft/reading traffic?

    I disagree. Doesn't make me want to ride any less, just makes me rerealise I need to 110% aware all the time.
