Yes, folks, that's the perfect way to avoid any mishaps on a bike--just stay off it. I know it's hard to swallow, but it's true. The sad truth is that more cycling accidents happen to those who ride bikes than to those who do not.
Now, we can all rejoice! We have found the perfect way to be perfectly safe and avoid any mishaps on the bike--don't ride.
Who's with me?
While that may be true... according to a g'mint study, you can also decrease accidents simply by increasing the number of trips taken... 'course that there study didn't make the number go down to zero, but then those folks actually went somewheres...
