I don't think "chickened out" is the right wording relative to Joey's question. I took his question as being about feeling most at risk. That is how I replied to the poll. "Chickened out" might be appropriate if the question was what factors led to people giving up riding their bike for commuting and other non-recreational uses. He asked for people who still ride when they can, so technically no respondents have chickened out per se.
But anyway still a fun and informative poll.
