From: norton ohio 5.5 miles from center road tow path trail head

Bikes: cannondale t400 1987 model and a raleigh gran prix from 1973

i went with maybe a few. My thinking is bad ones where death or serious injury accures. Most of these sorts of accidents will be at a high rate of speed (unskilled riders wont be doing that) the others would be related to drivers. But also remembering the fact that many unskilled riders who are killed or seriously injured will have pulled out in front of a car truck etc.

Id like to see mandatory classes but only if drivers ed is improved first. I feel that the biggest isue is drivers who dont know what rights bikes have and expect us to be sidewalk/curb bound.

I would how ever love to see more education provided free like safty town for the younger kids but for parents. Many parents teach their children wrongly. Teaching them to ride on the wrong side of the road aka dont cross the street. or ride on the side walk. etc etc.
