It seems that most of the trouble is simple visibility. Simple solution. We need to make it a city law that all bicyclists (and motorbikes) on public roads wear a neon yellow or orange vest or jacket and neon color helmet cover. I NEVER ride my bike withoput a neon jacket or vest. Anybody that doesnt has a death wish.

Bikes are small and lots of cars arent looking for them . Neon bright clothing and helmet would at least double visibility dependiing on time of day and weather.
