This isn't some kind of us versus them turf war for cyclists. We don't get concerned because drivers are intruding into some moral question. This isn't about being elitist snobs. It's because among all of the concerns cyclists have on the road, being struck from behind is the real nightmare scenario.

It's one of the few situations on the road where there is little we can do to protect ourselves.

The injuries that occur from this kind of incident are usually grave.

Anyone can become a killer if they allow themselves to become distracted.
