Perspective on Cycling Safety

[Mr. Bloom]

In the six years I've worked there, I know of exactly one person in the whole hospital who was injured on his bike.

Don't let yourself be ruled by fear.

Here!!!! Here!!! That's outstanding!

Here is an interesting link to consider:

I am interested in risk analysis

Ty, that's an oustanding chart! Let me offer an example of what a difference perspective makes:

Among other things, I'm responsible for Risk Management for a bank.

In general, a bank will have losses...for a well run bank, those losses are about .2%/year (not 2%, .2%!). In other words, we are right 99.98% of the time.

If that kind of accuracy doesn't give you a sense of invincibility, nothing would!!

So, why do we always look at the .2% and ask ourselves why we didn't do better????? Hmmm...
