I saw the US Federal Government. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics for 2005: 39,189 fatalities in car accidents, 4,881 were pedestrians, 784 were cyclists and the rest were either passengers or drivers or in the "other" category. I just wish that our roads were safer for all users. That everyone paid a little more attention and showed a little respect. Yes roads were designed for motor vehicles but not exclusively! And a related thought, I ride more rural roads. When cars squeeze by me in the no passing zones, I often think what would they do if I was a tractor pulling a hay wagon with a slow moving sign.
