Tourist Bus using designated paved roadway tumbles 75 feet down bluff.

Anyone can do it, Mike.

Plus, of course, the "source material" for hiker and motorist deaths is
about a thousand times bigger than for mountain biker deaths.

Not per person or per outing. Mountain biking is MUCH more dangerous
than either of those.

I'm inclined to think that those forty tourists in that single bus would
say that this outing was more dangerous than mountain biking.

Then again, you should look at the deaths and injuries that have
happened to spectators at Speedway and deaths caused by and to
boy-racers in recent weeks - a handful killed and injured at a handful
of speedway meetings, and vehicles users killed and maimed left right
and center. I would say that proportionally motorized vehicles have
killed far more people than mountain biking this month! Lately in my
area, death by motorised vehicles = 40+, Death by mountain bike = 0

So when are you going to invite me to observe one of your speaking
engagements, Mike? If what you say is the truth, why are you so against
informing me of where and when you'll be speaking next? Is it because
you continue to fabricate the "speaking engagements" that you claim to have?

Wow, it must take some sort of genius to work out the mtbing is more
dangerous than riding the bus or walking.

They weren't hiking. They were riding in a bus. Mountain biking is FAR
more dangerous than hiking.

Check out COLORADO. Probably more mountain bikers consentrated per square
inch, but ALL I hear about is people lost, injured, or eaten while hiking.

Irrelevant. Anecdotal evidence is not science.

So you're saying that you think the chances of getting hurt while
hiking are higher than when you go mtbing? Are you able to walk and
chew gum at the same time or do you cycle like a wuss?

And I note the full name, so what, you live in Highlands Farm, CO and
it looks like your brother is a more active cyclist than you. I bet
Karen's faster than you too.

That's all you came up with?..... some OLD info. I'm laughing too hard!
What's my favorite color!?

And it was still too much info for me, I don't care. The point is why
do you think it's important to use your full name rather than a
nickname. It doesn't invoke any more trust in comments you may post.
