re: #240 Gus

Ride safely. And remember that severe bike accidents are quite rare, and bike deaths are even rarer. (In Canada, more people die by falling out of bed (an average of 78 per year) than from cycling accidents (an average of 64 a year, or 2 per million per year); 5 times as many die from falling on stairs; and 2.5 times as many die from tripping and falling on level surfaces [source: Statistics Canada’s reports on external causes of morbidity and mortality, 2000—2003].)

Dude, I think this nails the essence of “explanatory journalism.” I salute you.
