I am terrible at coming up with names. And I liked to play a lot of characters, which made it even harder. My "main" at the time was Grendelcobol, named after a druid I had in D&D. I started seeing people use big words as names, and thought it was a cool idea. I was also 9still kind of am, but less so) obsessed with the band Incubus, and at the time, Light Grenades had come out recently. "Pendulous" is related to a song called "Pendulous Threads", and I thought the word worked well. So that hunter became another main, and I started using it in many places. I still remember those names and my shaman who I healed with occasionally in WOTLK, but my druid was my main healer, and I still love how they healed back then.

Every time I read about famous people killed while cycling I get a little more afraid of it myself

I'm doing my best to avoid it!
He (Helmut Jahn, a famed architect) didn't stop at a stop sign at an intersection that was clearly busy (bystanders said they don't know why) a few dozen miles from the city (I've even biked in the area) and got hit by an SUV in one direction, thrown across the road, and struck again by a car going the other way. Scary stuff. I regularly skip stop signs and red lights myself, but I also go biking super early in the morning, when it's dead, and I'm careful to slow down by intersections so I can verify they're empty before I go through them...
But, still, accidents happen! I've had a number of close calls with people cutting me off, running me against the edge of the road, sometimes even driving within inches of striking me with a mirror and honking like I'm an asshole for biking in a bike lane.

I mean yeah you're already super exposed on a bike, so you've always gotta be extra careful. That just sounds super gruesome though.
Ha!
I know it sounds dangerous, I get it. I live in a major city in the United States, and if I stopped at every stop light and stop sign, I truly wouldn't get a workout. A block is only a few hundred feet, I wouldn't even get up to speed between them. I do, though, slow down if I can't see the sides of the intersection as I'm closing in on it, and will stop completely if I see cars passing through ahead of me, or lights on either side. I'm not stupid.
