Hi all,
Good news, and bad news, it's actually the same news - Tales of Two Cities is back for a limited run over the next few days. Three, in fact, including today. This seems the best way to keep up with this series, and mirrors how I ride bikes - ignore it for a little while, then ride a few times over a condensed period
If today is going to count as a post, there should be some substance, so here's a little teaser.
One in one
There is a sign I occasionally see on the side of the Hubway docks – eh hem, Blue Bike docks. This sign is basically a public service announcement encouraging cyclists and pedestrians to remain vigilant because one in four car accidents involves at least one other person on bike or on foot. Hmmm. Those are interesting numbers. I crunched them a little further and determined the following – one in one crashes involves a car.
Funny thing, I've never seen a sign warning drivers that one in four of their crashes will involve a person on bike or on foot. I guess there's nothing to worry about - auto body shops are better than ever, and will fix the scratch on your hood from my helmet, or repair the dent where the bumper struck my oversize ego.
