"Lies, damned lies, and statistics". Often this kind of survey data is very misleading, and reflects the polling base, and how a question is phrased rather than a true picture of what's happening.

Take myself, for instance. If I were asked if I'd been harrassed while on a bike in the last 12 months, I'd have to say yes. But some perspective.

1- I ride almost daily, and am out on the roads an average of 10 hours per week year round.
2- I pass and get passed by countless thousands of motorists every week.
3- while the answer was yes, it was ONCE in those countless possible opportunities, so at best it makes the case that it's NOT a common issue for me.
4- the irony is that while there WAS a single incident in the preceding 12 months, there hasn't been one in the prior year, so if I'd been asked 6 months ago the answer would have been no, and may be no again in 6 more months. (and that's riding every day)

Are there ******** out there--- of course there are, and while the odds of being to go an entire year without running into one are low, the odds against running into one on any given day are actually very high.
