We think we are safer when we convince ourselves that we are in control, but I suspect that feeling of control is frequently a dillusion.

I think that a lot of bikers are killed because they had too much faith in their own abilites.

You're absolutely right about that. But the fact remains that people *can* influence their own abilities as road users, and they *can't* influence the abilities of others. And it also remains a fact that the (in)abilities of others are far more likely to harm you if you are on a bike than they are if you are driving a car or flying an aeroplane.
