Over 42,000 people die on the roads every year. Cycling deaths are
~700,
which means 60 times more people die in cars than on bikes. People take
driving for granted, but it's actually one of the most dangerous things
we do regulary, other than taking a shower.

In order to understand risk, you have to examine the data.


About that last line, I was thinking of saying the same thing to you.
:-)
Why do you suppose there are less cycling deaths? Hint: It's not
because
it's safer. That statistic is as silly as the one the airlines used to
spew: Less accidents per mile flown, blah blah blah.

Believe whatever you want, it doesn't matter to me.

Brian! On any given day, there are less people on bikes than in cars. If
there are less people doing something risky, do you suppose they'd be less
likely to be affected by the risks?


Are you guys talking about bicycles or motorcycles or both?

Look backward in the thread to the earlier messages. If your students were
lazy, you'd bitch slap them, right?
