Maybe not. You could die from some awful and unexpected illness.... or maybe from a statistically more likely... household accident. But rest assured... life itself... is always fatal.

I actually hit a car once (completely my own fault)... and came very close to hitting another not long ago. I took a fall while riding on a MUP a couple years ago too... banged me up kind'a bad... but I healed. Accidents are part of commuting.... and blood is part of all sports... cycling included.

So are cycling accidents inevitable? What if they are. Life is for the living. Even if you could shield yourself from the pain of being alive wouldn't you also be shielding yourself from the joy that is life?
