Living in an urban environment, a week generally doesn't go by without some mention in the papers of a cyclist being hit and killed by a motorist. It happens all too often here and is a major reason why many people are now riding trail. Of course a number of years ago, a close friend, an extremely strong mountain biker, slide off trail, hit her head against a boulder and broke her neck. Both sports have their risks.
