As a regular cycling commuter, I've been in enough car-on-bike accidents over the years to know how I react, and that it's probably not typical. (In the right circumstances, PTSD brain is damned useful.)

I've managed to save myself from injury a few times by making a loud enough noise that an inattentive driver didn't wipe me out entirely. That said, I have had to brake hard and/or climb the fence/kerb in some circumstances, too.

I remember quite clearly what I said when I ran afoul of the old "never cross a trolley line at other than a right angle" situation.

What I said was, "Crap!"
