[bikeqld] RE: [saturday-bunch:1082] Perceptions of bicycle safety

[Peter Whittle]

... and finally from me, the conclusions:

 

1.      Cycling is not very dangerous. 
It's at least as safe as many other common activities.

2.      And it does us no good to pretend cycling is dangerous. 
Doing so discourages cycling and makes conditions worse for cyclists, and
for society as a whole.

Some data in the form of a quiz, to challenge your perceptions and to be
armed against those "friends" who are so concerned about your safety as a
cyclist:
