Today, over two million Americans will ride a bike to work or school and NOT be shot. That story will NOT be on the news.

Even on a BAD days, the odds of being shot riding while riding a bike are millions to one. Compare that to going to a bar full of single people age 25 to 45...about 5% of them carry HIV...if you "get lucky" at that bar, you have a one in twenty chance of getting exposed to HIV.

Lots of things in life are dangerous. Riding a bike to work is not one of them.
