Dying Young (was: Reckless, Aggressive Drivers: Homegrown Terrorists)

Jack May pulls the following out of his ass:

> Riding a bike for trans****tation is a good way to die young.

=v= Interesting claim, given that cars are the #1 cause of death
for the young.

> The death rate per passenger mile for bikes is far higher than
> cars.

=v= An irrelevant comparison, since bikes travel fewer passenger
miles than bikes.  In terms of real live actual real-world real
use, biking is safer than walking or driving.

P.S.:  Note that I've removed rec.bicycles.rides from the
Newsgroups: header, as this is totally off-topic for that
newsgroup.
