We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Damn , wish i had three hands……. the things i could do while driving my truck .
it is absolutely mind boggliing the amount of road users (cyclists and pedestrians in particular) that go about their business without any thought or notice as to what's going on around them.
a few more studies you might enjoy mark:

While there is a public perception that cyclists are usually the cause of accidents between cars and bikes, an analysis of Toronto police collision reports shows otherwise… The available evidence suggests that collisions have far more to do with aggressive driving than aggressive cycling.

not trying to get into an argument about whether or not peds and cyclists should be paying attention - as vulnerable road users who stand to stand to lose a great deal in collisions with motor vehicles damn right they have to be paying attention when interacting with cars - but what evidence there is suggests that a) generally cyclists and pedestrian are much more aware of traffic conditions than drivers, and b) drivers' lack of awareness on the road often fuels their feelings (anxiety, anger) and skewes their perceptions (blame)
not endorsing the cyclist's behaviour, but i love how the driver turns his flashers on after he loses his mirror. a bit late to engage your "forcefield"
10th Ave is a god damned zoo regardless of transit modality.
