Use your brain cell for once.

Math says it's better to be hit from the back while riding a bike. If a car hits you from the back, the force will be far less because you're both traveling in the same direction. If the collision is head on, the force will be multiplied by both of your speeds. So, you may see it coming, but who cares if you're going to die anyway.
I do 25 mile rides on some scary roads will small shoulders, and it would seem pretty fucking foolish to be going toward traffic. It would be scary for the drivers coming toward me also. You obviously are not a biker.
