[bikeqld] RE: Perceptions of bicycle safety

[Cycling Promotion Fund]

If safety concerns are an issue, you may want to produce the Cycling
Promotion Fund's Cycling and Safety Fact Sheet.

It starts with

"Over the past 25 years there has been a decrease in the number of cycling
fatalities in Australia" despite cycling increasing in popularity in recent
years. 

Plus there's a fabulous quote:

British research has found that the gain of 'life years' through improved
fitness among people who regularly cycle is "about 20 times greater that the
loss of 'life years' through cycle fatalities".


The CPF has a range of fact sheets available to download or order.
