It doesn't pay to be timid. Man up.


Why take the risk when there are alternatives such as this?

A bike lane plus segregated bike path plus bicycle bridge, all
seamlessly connecting to the Folsom bike path system and the
American River bike trail. Plus a lot of parks. That area is a
cyclists paradise. During rush hour it gets quite busy.

So what you're saying is that the percentage of bicyclists deaths can
be changed from nearly nothing to nothing?


It isn't nothing. About one a month in our local paper. However, again,
this is not only about deaths but also serious injury. I personally knew
people who have had that happen, usually by being hit from behind. One
woman wasn't able to ride for years because she ended up underneath a
Ford F-150. Later she never regained her old performance level because
some stuff didn't heal.
