Default Bicycle Injury Statistics

Thanks for the info!
I checked out the statistics Mike (exactly what I was looking for), and
you were right Bill, it is hard to put things together to come up with
any solid conclusion. It looks like around half of the fatalities
happen at night though, so I think that is something that I will think
on.
Thanks!

Think of it this way--riding at night is more dangerous
than riding during the day, regardless of the rider.
OTOH, the fatality statistics which look so bad for
night riding are skewed by the drunken doofii
who tend to make up a substantial portion of the
night riding population.

This is for another thread, but looking only at
fatality statistics provides a woefully incomplete
view of the overall risk of cycling.
