In the end, though, it comes down to what you feel is best. If cycling is worrying you (or your family), maybe it's time for a break. You can always get back into it later if you want.
Agreed on every point. I live in Scottsdale and commute full time to work by bike, so I know this story.
But I say this respectfully, there are fatal car crashes every day here, and I wonder if you were equally affected like this back when you were driving?
