You've reminded me of another point I often bring up in discussions on bike safety.

In my province cyclists make up about 2% of road users, yet cyclists only are involved in about 1% of collisions.

I know, I know. There are other accidents that go unreported. I'm not concerned with road rash or bumps and bruises. I know some people are. Life can never be too safe for some.
