What we need most of all is some cyclist education. Too many newbies out there who don't understand that they need to be predictable, signal turns, and use lights at night. Also, too many cyclists ride in the blind spots of trucks.
This. So much.
In countries with low rates of cyclist deaths, they learn cycling skills at school at an early age, before they can develop aggressive bad driving habits.
