Since I decided I am finally taking the plunge and buying my first road bike at the end of this month, I keep seeing cycling related incidents posted by groups I follow on facebook.

There are far many more happy healthy smiling cyclists than the unfortunate few who come a cropper.
Look forward to your new-found liberty.

Nasty. That is the exception rather than the rule.
Today I rode 30 miles with no near misses, close passes (unless you count the big flying bug thing that smacked into my helmet with a bit of a noise) or anything else.
I am not sure that I'd have been riding on that road either! Looks a tad busy for bikes if traffic is going at that sort of speed. I hope that the chap was OK though.

As you should be, road awareness is important for all. Have fun
and the most important thing is to enjoy it

Without wishing to tempt fate, I've been cycling daily in London for upwards of a decade and the only two accidents I've had in that time were 100% down to me. Anticipate, anticipate, anticipate. And enjoy.
