>"cyclists should yield at all times and have a sixth sense to avoid getting killed by impatient or distracted drivers".

And that is literally true. Yes, cars should be more careful, but it's a fact that it's easy to overlook a cyclist. As my motorcycle instructor said during our first theory lesson: "So you are all here because you have suicidal tendencies, right?". And he was right. And it's even more true with cyclists. No one says that this is a good thing tho.

That's why laws like in Denmark and the Netherlands (not 100% sure if it's both countries) are needed. Cars are automatically at fault (not always 100% though) when there is an with a cyclist or pedestrian as it is expected that the "stronger" person has to take more responsibility.

Motorcyclists and bicyclists do not face the same dangers in traffic. I don’t see the relation to the extreme fatality of motorcycling.

I'm fairly sure the average cyclist has a longer healthy lifespan than both the average motorcyclist and carist.
