The "close-calls", of which if you ride enough, start to become numerous, are never part of any statistical research.<br /><br />There was a study that was completed last year that only dealt with fatalities.<br /><br />My feeling from my own experience is that if you decrease the # of "close-calls", you'll reduce the fatalities. Fatalities and really bad altercations between motorists & cyclists, are close-calls gone terribly bad in an instant!<br /><br />It's extraordinary to me that so many motorists drive with this feeling of invincibility, but they are only one false move and a half-second away from something VERY serious/tragic.<br /><br />SFSteve Fleckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09323624438361035624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758090575418482333.post-9705631249116332362013-07-15T09:29:34.266-07:002013-07-15T09:29:34.266-07:00It's All About Pace,

They are more visible and can be passed in half the time. Any motorist trying to squeeze by a group of cyclist and incoming traffic is playing Russian roulette with people's lives.

Roads are particularly quite but from time to time you get the motorist who is trying to beat hwy 400 traffic and is doing 120 in an 80 zone (or faster), passes erratically and usually yells out words like a school bully. It's extremely pathetic and I would love to put an end to the harassment.
