More bike accidents or just more bikers?
Posted on March 6, 2008

There was an article in the L.A. Times a few months ago where they stated that the number of cyclists killed by motorists had doubled from 2005-2006.
Bad news, but the reason might not be as grim as you think. Apparently the number of bicycles sold also doubled during the same period of time. If there are twice as many of us out there, and everything else stays the same, then the death rate would also double.
There are more and more people riding bikes. Me and my girlfriend even went to a club on our bikes last night.
Drivers, please be careful.

Riding a bike is liberation.
It’s getting around on your own power, and more. It's a symbol of anything you do to become more independent. If you want it to, bicycling will constantly challenge your limits, physically and mentally.
This blog is about pushing your limits. It’s not a bicycle fanatic’s rant against cars. It’s a rant against yourself, and whatever limits you. -
