We are clearly nearer the end of life than most others. Hence I don't see any problem with acknowledging that our end could come at the hands of someone driving a motor vehicle. However, I must confess that I routinely ignore threads that say "cycling fatality"... simply because I am aware of the risk figures you describe. For me that's just a personal thing. My wife reads the obituaries every day, and I don't. When I ask why she does this her answer is always along the lines of enjoying learning about the lives of other people. Of course she reads biographies and autobiographies and I don't. Different peopl want to know different things, and it's often nice to be able to discuss those things with someone who has been around as long as you have.
