The more bicycling that occurs, the accident/injury rates actually go down. When gas prices rose and bicycling doubled or more in Missouri, the total number of accidents stayed the same. In other words, the accident RATE was cut in half.
My dad got a wetsuit for his 62nd birthday today. After the initial mental image of what my 62 yr old and not all that fit dad will look like in his wetsuit, I was jealous! He's retiring next month and maybe he plans to follow in my triathlon footsteps/ bicycle tracks/ wake. Nah, more likely he wants to bike & swim, his knees are no good.
Anyway, go 60 year olds!
