Oh, oh, now you are coming with hard facts. That is greatly poo-poo'ed
upon by some here :-)

LOL, I find as I get older that I am less tolerant of people spewing
nonsense like "Danger Danger" and "why don't people wear helmets while
gardening," when they are unable to come up with coherent arguments.

It's understandable why they do this, even though it is not a productive
approach. There are too many people that believe cycling on the road is
far more dangerous than it actually is, and unaware of the steps that
they can take to mitigate the real dangers.
