Hello class,
I became paranoid about safety since my accident and I only wish you the best with the adventure. Please, be careful.
I found this article on bicycle accidents in the city of New York. I don't want to scare or discourage anyone, just drive safe and be extra attentive, you might be doing the right thing but someone else can do the wrong one.

The City Council voted today to approve a crackdown on rogue commercial cyclist.
The plan would require bikers to take a safety course and includes fines of $100 or more for businesses that don't provide their riders with helmets, headlights and bells.
Mayor Bloomberg is expected to sign the measures.
Council Speaker Christine Quinn and colleagues say their constituents have had it with delivery bikes weaving down sidewalks, speeding through red lights and otherwise riding wild.
