Here are two SF Chronicle articles that made the front page this morning. The second one has stats about the decrease of accidents but increase in fatalities. It also says that accidents in rural areas or open highways tend to involve higher speeds than urban areas and speed is the highest contributing factor for fatality in a bike collision.
