Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

One of the dangers of comparing accident data and designs from Denmark or the Netherlands to our own is that possibly the largest factor isn't considered. IMO- the biggest contributor to the relative dangers is whether drivers are used to and expecting bicycles or not. Where drivers see bicycles every day on every road, they grow more attentive to them, see them sooner, and adjust their driving habits accordingly.
