728 cyclists, that is horrendous.
Two little data points to consider:
1. 127 of the 728 cycling fatalities in 2001 occured in Florida which is without equal in terms of bad drivers.
2. There were over 4,882 pedestrian's killed by motorists in 2001, you guesed it: 489 in Florida alone.
On the bright side of things, we just learned tonight that Georgia's State Senate approved our "Share the Road" license plate initiative. It will now go to the House where they'll probably table it (maybe not); however, it's a great first step!!
