So what your saying is that I pay nothing extra insurance-wise
for owning a bike. It is covered by insurance that I already
own. (: OTOH, there are whole other things called "auto
insurance policies" -- specially for autos! And they cost a
lot! ):
That is the same as saying that welfare costs us nothing.
_Everyone_ is paying for the risk of cycling including home
owners who never ride. Is that fair? I don't think so but that's
the way it is.
Oh, quit the bull**** about the "risks of cycling." There have
been at least five different studies on the risks vs. benefits of
cycling, measured in different ways - for example, health care
dollars spent vs. saved, years of life lost vs. gained, etc. EVERY
study found that cycling is by FAR a net benefit.
So in insurance terms, you've got things backwards. _Everyone_ is
getting reduced insurance premiums and reduced health care costs
from cycling, even the people who never ride.
Agree ... but ... we were talking about liability insurance, _not_
health insurance. I'll have to repeat it: Read more carefully. Before
typing.
IOW, quit the "Danger! Danger!" implications. You may ride like an
idiot, but even you don't tip the scales in the direction you
claim.

Aren't you the one telling us that the study that showed Hillary 14
points in the lead was accurate ...
ROFL! I almost spewed out a sip of water while laughing :-)
