There are some who ride bikes and ignore the automobile traffic. In a large category of the bike riders they ignore the traffic laws regulating their use of the roads. Again, I am truly sorry you have injuries but if you ride a bike it is critical to also have some respect for the hazards the auto drivers have and be considerate for their problems to navigate the roads in the villages. The circles being serious hurdles.
I was hoping this would’t turn into a blame the bicycle rider post. That said you need to talk to local law enforcement and write to your congressmen, maybe they will change laws for you.
